THQ Nordic has published a new trailer and a release date for Wreckfest 2, the sequel to the hilarious car destruction game. Wreckfest 2 will be launched on March 20 on PC via early access. No information about the consoles version was provided.
Among the improvements applied by Bugbear studio, the most notable is the enhancements in the engine, allowing the visuals to look better, as well as the physics of the game.
The collisions are undeniably one of the game’s main elements, so having this improved system is one of the team’s development focuses. The studio’s idea was to launch the game in early access format precisely to build it together with the community, applying the necessary changes thanks to the players’ feedback. The most recent video gives a glimpse of new tracks (or rather, arenas) and some vehicles that will be present in the new game.
Main features of Wreckfest 2:
Unmatched racing experience
Brace yourself for the most phenomenal full-contact racing action with no rules, just jaw dropping moments of chaos and destruction, powered by the overhauled physics engine. Race in intense head-to-head fights on courses featuring high-speed circuits, crazy courses with obstacles & jumps, intersections and oncoming traffic, or go for demolition domination in derby mode.
More and more tracks & arenas will be added during the Early Access phase.
Awesome & customizable cars
Forget pristine supercars: Our cars are old, dented and patched together. Each of them tells a story, and you can tell your own by customizing your ride. Over the course of early access, more and more customization options will be added to the game. They will not only unlock your creative desires, but also contain new armor and component types that support certain playstyles. And later during Early Access, you can also share your designs with other racers and wreckers!
Fully revamped game modes
Launching into early access with the base game modes of Racing, Derby and multiplayer mode. During the Early Access phase, we will add a completely revamped career mode that adapts to your individual playstyle and guides you on your journey to become a true champion! For online racers there will be new skill-based matchmaking system and server queues coming as well!
Challenges
Another highlight during the Early Access phase will be special challenges, putting you behind the steering wheel of unconventional vehicles that were definitely never supposed to end up on a racetrack! Various bite-sized scenarios will keep you hooked as you battle for the highest scores.
Tournaments
Players can also look forward to tournaments that will be implemented during the Early Access phase. Here you can earn unique rewards in special events – events which test more than just your driving skills!
Mod Support
During the Early Access phase, mod support will be added so you can really mess with this game by installing various mods from the Steam Workshop.
