addedWreckfest is leaving Early Access!In retrospect, it’s been a wild and exciting journey. Back when we embarked on this project, Wreckfest was supposed to be a short little project to create a new, simple racing game in the spirit of the original FlatOut but it soon dawned on us that we can do SO MUCH more with the premise. So, being straight-forward people as we are that’s what we did, and after four years of development during which no sweat, tears and game engines were spared, the end result is the game that you get to play today. We sincerely hope you will have fun with it! We can’t help but feel somewhat wistful at this moment but don’t think of this as us saying that we’re done with the game now – we’re going to keep updating and improving it. Think of this as our way of saying that if there was no Early Access we would have never had the chance to create this game, and likewise, you’d never gotten to play it. In simple terms, YOU made this game possible. We want to use this opportunity to thank all of those who supported us during this journey; those who shared their excitement over the game and encouraged us to keep working with it, those who supported us by pre-ordering the game, those who shared their feedback with us and of course everyone who played the game and spread the word! That out of the way, here are some highlights from the launch update:

addedWreckfest is leaving Early Access!Four new challenge vehicles including a Harvester and a School Bus!

addedWreckfest is leaving Early Access!New fun customization parts as well as wicked paint jobs for all vehicles.

addedWreckfest is leaving Early Access!Updated career progress with new unlocks, car rewards & challenge events.

changedWreckfest is leaving Early Access!Overhauled user interface and art for many screens.

addedWreckfest is leaving Early Access!New Countryside Demolition Arena.

The technically-inclined among us can check out the full changelog with all the meaty tidbits on our blog HERE . In other news, the Deluxe Edition Exclusive Car is also now available! If you have the Deluxe Edition, the car is automatically added to your garage. If you pre-ordered the game directly from our site you will soon receive an email notification containing a new key with which you can unlock the car. The same goes for the exclusive Team Bugbear paint job, so please hang tight. Please be aware that all your old save data will be wiped with the update to prevent glitches. Likewise, the leaderboards will be reset soon. Furthermore, the newest version of the game doesn’t “see” the servers running the old build so don’t be alarmed in case there appears to be a very few servers available, it simply means that the server administrators need to update their software. To celebrate the launch we’ve also set up an official Discord channel for some nice meet and greet type of action. To join, click here: DISCORD. If you don't have an account yet not to worry, it's easy and only takes a couple of minutes so don't let it stop you from joining in the crew! That’s all for now, folks. See you on the track soon!
