The project started in 2006, under the name "RollCageX" on SourceForge. In 2011 the name was changed to "ReCaged" to avoid possible legal problems. In the same year the project was also moved from SourceForge to the nongnu domain on GNU Savannah. The initial goal was to create a new, fanmade, RollCage game to continue the series after RollCage released in 1999 and Rollcage Stage II released in 2000. Eventually the project also started to put focus on adding higher realism, flexibility and extendability and Recaged is (in contrary to the original games) not limited to what kind of tracks, weapons or vehicles that can be created.[2] In addition to the vehicles featured in the original games, there are also plans to add a few default vehicles such as real cars and hovercrafts similar to those features in the Wipeout games.[3]
