Wreckfest 2 launches in early access with glitches

Wreckfest 2 is now available in early access on Steam. The developer, Bugbear, is known for the original Wreckfest, a popular destruction-focused racing game. The launch trailer for Wreckfest 2 shows exciting features but also highlights some issues. Viewers can see impressive car crashes and detailed vehicles, but they also notice glitches, such as strange neck movements and error messages. Bugbear is transparent about the state of the game, indicating that it is very much a work in progress. The trailer emphasizes that players are invited to test the game and provide feedback. The developers encourage players to share their ideas. Early reviews are mixed, with 73% being positive. Many players appreciate the driving mechanics and damage system but note that the game lacks content and has serious bugs that can crash it. Bugbear plans for the game to stay in early access for at least 12 months. However, the timeline could change based on player feedback and development needs. The first Wreckfest also started in early access and took four years to reach completion. Players are hopeful that this sequel will progress more quickly toward a final version.
