Wishlist now on Steam: the reveal trailer:

[Wreckreation 2 @ArcadeDriving]

If you’ve spent the summer on a beach enjoying the ridiculously hot weather, you might have missed our announce that Wreckreation 2 is coming.

It’s an open-world arcade racing game where every slam, every shortcut and every takedown can change the outcome.

We’re developing the game in public, sharing what we’re working on as we go, and we’ll be reopening our Steam playtest soon.

If that sounds like the kind of arcade racer you’ve been missing, wishlist Wreckreation 2 on Steam: https://t.co/kB9fmcPyQU

Something different for this week’s #ScreenshotSaturday. With the playtest closed at the moment, we thought we’d show you some new cars instead.

In Wreckreation 2, every car can be upgraded, and here’s a taste of what that means for the once-humble Huntsville Marbella.

First up, we’ve added some 70s kit-racer-inspired bodywork: wheel-arch extensions, window slats, a gurney-flap rear spoiler and front chin spoiler.

Then we go all the way to the full-blooded, flared-fender IMSA-inspired special. With its deep front apron spoiler, dechromed face, big muscular fenders, roll cage, hood bulge and side-exit exhausts, this Marbella packs a big punch.

This week's #screenshotsaturday come from early playtesters 'bighole' and 'OGGamerLeo'. We've closed playtesting for a few weeks but will opening up again soon. #wreckreation2

Wreckreation 2 is being developed in the open with regular playtests for our community. We're opening up more slots all the time. For #ScreenshotSaturday, here are a selection of player screenshots.

[Wreckreation 2 @ArcadeDriving]

@CofieLaIguanaB1 yes it will

[Wreckreation 2 @ArcadeDriving]

One of the best parts of developing in the open is being able to show work while it's still changing.

This week's Patreon update covers changes we're making to the city following playtest feedback, plus another example of the community helping us decide how the game should play. #wreckreation2

[Wreckreation 2 @ArcadeDriving]

For #ScreenshotSaturday here is a sneak peek at a new car that's currently in development for #Wreckreation2.

It's one we've been asked for a lot ... our new Sports Compact. This fan-favourite body style is making a comeback and we think it's going to be seriously fun to drive. More screens can be found on our latest Patreon post.

If you're interested in seeing how our cars come to life, keep an eye on our Patreon. We'll soon be sharing a behind-the-scenes dev blog that follows the entire journey, from the first concepts through to the finished car in-game. https://t.co/NnCAXXGRNC

@BlackPanthaaYT This one's for you (and all the other anglophiles). 🇬🇧It's not a mistake. We really did put Bell End Records Management in the game. #wreckreation2

Everyone has a favourite car...... We don't want you to leave it behind.
In Wreckreation 2, every upgrade tier improves performance and gives your car a new visual identity.

@XplosioN_YT Thank you, tell us, what difficulty did you play the AI on and what did you like about it.

[Wreckreation 2 @ArcadeDriving]

Thank you for the support, we appreciate it. Keep in touch. We hope to start running console playlists down the line. #wreckreation #opendevelopment #withtheplayers

Le premier Wreckreation était très sympa. Mais le succès n'a pas été au rendez-vous et le studio a été fermé par l'éditeur.

MAIS ils sont de retour de manière indépendante avec Wreckreation 2 et là, on a enfin un vrai nouveau Burnout !!!

Pour le moment seulement annoncé sur Steam mais @ArcadeDriving on compte sur vous pour la Xbox 😎

D'ailleurs on était déjà là pour vos précédents jeux comme Dangerous Driving, on vous soutient sur le projet 👌

[Wreckreation 2 @ArcadeDriving]

Thank you ❤️🚗

Quand les papas de la franchise Burnout ont lancé Wreckreation en 2025, THQ Nordic a carrément fermé le studio en guise de remerciement… 😵‍💫

Les employés ont donc créé une nouvelle entreprise (When Tides Turn), et ils reviennent plus déterminés que jamais avec le VRAI nouveau Burnout Paradise 🥳 Ça s’appelle Wreckreation 2 et ça ressemble ENFIN à ce qu’on attend d’un tel projet ♥️

[Wreckreation 2 @ArcadeDriving]

Thank you for playing and for the brilliant video. #withtheplayers

[BlackPanthaa @BlackPanthaaYT]

So they're making Wreckreation 2!

This time it's independent, building in the open with community feedback and I'm excited

One of the big points, the drifting. See the below clip. They're focusing in on the handling, car battling and crashing

Thank you @Solfleet and @ConsoleCreature for playing Wreckreation 2 and getting what we are doing here.

Thanks for coming to the event. Sorry to hear the AI were giving you a beating! We were delighted to hear, "I'm impressed." It is incredibly early, as you say, but it's fun to be doing it this way.

Wreckreation 2 if officially in development! (Started May 2026)

- More racing-focused than the original
- Inspired by Burnout's fast, chaotic action
- 30 cars to unlock and upgrade through a tier system
- Super aggressive AI that won't let you breathe
- Smaller, denser tracks instead of a huge open world

[Wreckreation 2 @ArcadeDriving]

Thanks for coming to the event and for the coverage. We have a long way to go, but we are excited to be developing in the open. We noted your comments on handling, and actually it's changed already. Let us know what you think.

Arcade racer Wreckreation is getting a surprise sequel - and we've played it!

This could be the Burnout Paradise successor we've been waiting for...
