Wreckfest 2 Early Access Expands Again: Update #2 Is Ready to Roll

Vienna, Austria / Helsinki, Finland, June 26th, 2025: The second content update for Wreckfest 2’s Early Access expands the game with two additional cars, two new tracks, and a brand-new game mode: "Last Man Standing" (or, as some might say, "Last Car Rolling"). The first new car, the Cardinal, is a decent, reliable, and fairly ordinary American Sedan - just the kind of vehicle you'd expect to see on the track. The second, however, is anything but ordinary: the Motorhome lets players take control of one of the most beloved vehicles in the Wreckfest franchise and cause mayhem in a house on wheels.

The new Last Man Standing mode is – let’s be honest – what Wreckfest was made for. Forget finishing first, mastering perfect drifts, or reaching top speed across the finish line. This mode is all about survival. Smash your opponents, outlast the chaos, and make sure your car is the last one still rolling.

About Wreckfest 2

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. Wreckfest 2 features even higher crash fidelity, more intricate component damage simulation and many more improvements across the board!

Get ready to witness the absolute best-in-class car destruction and truly epic moments of chaos, all with the signature vehicle handling from Wreckfest!

Features:

• 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.
  - 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.
• 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.
