Six years after the release of the original, publisher THQ Nordic and Developer Bugbear Entertainment have announced Wreckfest 2 to launch on PC and consoles "soon".
The original Wreckfest is still relatively popular in 2024 - but the franchise is due for a new entry: During the THQ Nordic Showcase, the publisher announced Wreckfest 2 by original developer Bugbear Entertainment to be "coming soon". The game's Steam page is already up as well - as is an announcement trailer, of course.
The trailer does not exactly show much except for a somewhat humorous look back at how a car sitting in a barn got crumpled up by its owner, but the announcement itself and the Steam page do already name what players can look forward to.
Additionally, a skill-based matchmaking systems will make its debut for online races, while other game modes such as Career Mode are "entirely reimagined". Challenges and Tournaments should give players plenty to do outside of their Career, too.
Mod support is explicitly mentioned to be coming to Wreckfest 2 via the Steam Workshop. However, VR support is not mentioned anywhere, and neither is a release date. Wreckfest 2 is set to launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
