Wreckfest 2 officially announced at THQ Nordic showcase – WGB

Publisher THQ Nordic and developer Bugbear Entertainment have revealed Wreckfest 2, the follow-up to 2018’s hugely entertaining destruction derby racer.

“Ascend to the throne of full-contact racing by breaking the rules – and everything else – on your way to victory! Developer Bugbear went all out, rebuilding its true-to-life physics simulation engine to take full advantage of modern hardware,” says the official blurb on Steam. “Wreckfest 2 features even higher crash fidelity, a deeper armor and damage system, more intricate component damage simulation and many more improvements across the board!”

Details are thin on the ground at the moment, but we do know the game will feature a career mode, a challenge mode, tournaments and more, along with post-launch content updates. I honestly wish games would stop doing that, though – it’s okay to launch a game and let that be the final product, without needing to keep adding more and more. I guess developers have figured out that the financial cost is worth it though

The headlining feature seems to be a new customization suite.

“Forget pristine supercars: Our cars are old, dented and patched together. Each of them tells a story, and now you can tell your own by fully customizing your ride. The newly designed customization tool is incredibly powerful, enabling you to create the car of your dreams! Let your creativity run wild and share your designs with other racers and wreckers online.”

No release date was announced, but we do know Wreckfest 2 will release on consoles and PC.
