THQ Nordic and Bugbear Entertainment will release Wreckfest 2 in Early Access on PC in March 2025. The demolition racer will be built together with the community.

Austrian publisher THQ Nordic and developer Bugbear Entertainment from Finland will release Wreckfest 2 in Early Access on PC on 20 March 2025. Developer Bugbear has reworked the physics engine of the game to deliver "intense crashes, deeper component damage and absolute vehicular mayhem". Features such as mod support or additional languages will be added as the game progresses through Early Access, or at the latest with the full 1.0 release.

THQ Nordic: "Forget the shiny supercars - In Wreckfest 2, the rides are old, rusty, dented, and patched together. As Early Access progresses, you'll be able to build the banger of your dreams and transform your battered ride into a wrecking machine! New cars and other vehicles will be added as the game evolves. From day one, Wreckfest 2 will be shaped by your feedback. We're eager to create the greatest demolition derby-style game of all time."

Bugbear Entertainment is a Helsinki-based company founded in 2000 by Janne Alanenpää, best known for the FlatOut series and Wreckfest. A majority stake in the company was acquired by THQ Nordic in November 2018. Wreckfest left Early Access in mid-2018 and was subsequently released on consoles. The sequel was announced at the publisher's showcase ahead of gamescom 2024.
