Wreckfest Screeches Onto Switch Later This Year

Destructive racer Wreckfest will be making its way to the Nintendo Switch on June 21st, publisher THQ Nordic has announced. The game will cost $39.99 / £34.99.

Originally released on PC in 2018 before arriving on consoles starting 2019, Wreckfest is said to be a spiritual successor to the FlatOut series and features a range of frankly ridiculous vehicles including school buses, crop harvesters, lawn mowers, and more.

The Nintendo Switch version will boast multiplayer for up to 16 players online, alongside extensive single-player tournaments with gameplay hitting a steady 30fps. It will come bundled with two seasons’ worth of content, with season 1 encompassing 20 “crazy and iconic” vehicles, 20 roof decorations, and a car customisation pack. Season 2 offers up an additional 12 vehicles.

Here’s a rundown of what to expect from THQ Nordic:

– Awesome Cars – Old, banged-up, patched-together cars that simply ooze style! From old American heavy-hitters to agile Europeans and fun Asians, you won’t find anything like this in other games.
– Meaningful Customization – Change not only the look of your cars but also upgrade their body armor
– Receive free updates that add new tracks and tournament challenges with unique rewards (please note: tournaments will be a free upgrade, available post-launch)
– Multiplayer – Wreck your friends online and take racing to the limit while chasing for demolition dominance!

Wreckfest is sure to bring back nostalgic memories of FlatOut on the Wii – be sure to let us know if you’re planning on picking this one up in the comments.
