All Features in Wreckfest 2
The game's engine has undergone a major overhaul. It promises a "true-to-life physics simulation engine" that will make it compatible with modern platforms like PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series. Some gameplay improvements include collisions with vehicles, a more robust armor and damage system, and a more detailed damage simulation to make the game more realistic and impactful when taking hits.
There will be more variety in the game modes gamers can play, and there will be head-to-head competitions to participate in. Gamers will have a choice in derby arenas to pick from while playing that made and courses to perform risky jumps from.
Customization is more profound than it has been, as gamers can make the kind of car they want. Once racers create the car they want, they can play them against others online to show off their creativity and take down the competition.
The game's career mode has also been revamped to provide a deeper experience for gamers. The game's online portion allows racers to face off against anyone they want on any of the available courses. There is also the ability to have a split screen for local multiplayer races.
Esports Impact
The game's online portion should grab the attention of esports gamers, as they will be able to compete against other players. While this isn't a typical racing game, it should excite gamers to take advantage of the customization and be competitive on a high level.
The developers appear to be going all-in on making Wreckfest 2 a competitive racer. Online play will include skill-based matchmaking as well as server queues. The Steam page also mentions tournaments to be added during Early Access as well as events that will provide unique in-game rewards. Details are currently scarce about the specific rulesets and balance of competitive play, but dedicated dev support is one of the biggest factors in the long term health of an esport so it's great to see here.
