Ladies and Gentlemen, the next generation of demolition derby madness is here. Wreckfest 2 is crashing into Early Access on Steam today, bringing next-level car destruction, slicker graphics, improved physics, and a whole lot of new features to fuel your inner petrolhead. And yes, it’s once again developed by Bugbear Entertainment – the masters of metal-mangling mayhem.
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!
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.
To reflect this evolving journey, Wreckfest 2 is launching at an introductory SRP of $43.95 AUD, with a 20% launch discount for the first two weeks (until April 3, 2025), making it an even sweeter deal at $35.16 AUD. As development progresses and major updates roll out, the SRP will gradually increase until the full 1.0 release on PC and consoles.
