Last year, Bugbear Entertainment officially announced that they were working on a sequel to the much-loved Wreckfest. With the game officially out now in Early Access, the team have shared a ton of new details on both the current and future state of Wreckfest 2.

Alongside the official Early Access launch of Wreckfest 2, the team at Bugbear Entertainment have explained their thought process surrounding the game and its EA release, writing:

“Just like its predecessor, Wreckfest 2 will keep evolving throughout Early Access, with fresh content and features rolling in regularly. Bugbear and THQ Nordic are all about making this a game for the players, shaped by the players. We want your feedback – tell us what you love, what you want more of, and what crazy ideas we absolutely need to implement. We’ve got a truckload of ideas (and an actual truck), but we want to hear which ones you like the most!”

They continued, “Now, a fair warning: don’t expect Wreckfest 2’s Early Access version to be as jam-packed with content as Wreckfest 1 after nearly a decade of updates, patches, and DLCs. This is just the beginning of an epic ride, and the game will grow with regular updates, guided by our living roadmap – powered by you.”

Currently, the game is priced at £24.99 and includes:

• Single-player racing & derby with up to 24 players (bots)
• Multiplayer racing & derby with up to 24 players + bot support 
• 3 maps with multiple tracks (6 in total)
• 1 Singleplayer Map Stunt arena
• 4 Cars
• Basic paint customization for all cars
• Garage to edit & save car designs
• Early version of the replay mode
• Leaderboard support

While an overall rather light package, much of the work done for Wreckfest 2 has been with the game’s underbelly – including the destruction tech; physics engine and more.

Hopefully this marks a strong start for Wreckfest 2 (and hopefully the team can get new cars/tracks out at a regular cadence.)
