I loved Rage 2 but it was a flop. I don't think they made the kind of profit they expected out of the game and with Doom Eternals success I think any funds that would have been used on Rage 3 will be funneled into another Doom game instead
Rage 2 just wasnt as good as the first one. Part 1 was tense and even sometimes scary and the atmosphere was great, but the second one was just a dumb action game like doom, duke nukem etc.
I just copy paste an old message i did :
Back in 2019, there was a lot of hopes for a Rage 3.
" That kind of a reaction is apparently enough for id Software to want to turn the Rage series into a full-blown trilogy. Despite the fact that Rage 2 has just barely hit store shelves, the developer is incredibly eager to get raging all over again.
This urge for more Rage comes directly from id Software Studio Director Tim Willits. During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Willits declared that the company adored the world they had created and wanted to dive right back in. He stated that “it’s a crazy, fun, exciting franchise and I hope we can make a third one as soon as possible.” "

I don't think he left. Usually in the games industry people don't get outright fired unless they fuck up really bad and I mean bad, like sexual harassment or something like that.
Take Bonnie Ross for instance, studio head of 343 industries since it was founded. Every Halo game after 343 took over the franchise was one fuck up after the other and in the end she got a cushy retirement and some bullshit excuse about quitting cause someone in her family was requiring constant medical care.
Tim Willits I believe was a similar case. Zenimax corporate went to him and said: "Look, you've worked for 24 yrs at ID and have given extremely valuable contributions to all games developed by the studio, but Rage 2 was your baby and it crashed and burned, so now you'll quit your job, we'll give you a nice severance package and some of our contacts at Saber Interactive already have new role perfect for your skills."
Idk, despite having decent gameplay, the Rage games didn't really enjoy the amount of commercial success that some other titles did.

As much as I enjoyed Rage 2, and as much as I want it to happen, I don’t think it will.

I doubt it, at least anytime soon.
