To this day, the now-stagnant Burnout series is still the prime example of an arcade racer that every other contemporary is compared to. Naturally, it’s spurred on a bunch of imitators and spiritual successors over the years, especially after the decline of Criterion Games into a support studio at EA. Nowadays, instead of pioneering racing games, it’s a “Battlefield Studio”<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One such spiritual successor was 2025’s Wreckreation, created by Three Fields Entertainment, a small team of veterans, including from Criterion Games, making games since 1999. Unfortunately, Wreckreaction launched to mixed reviews, not quite reaching the heights of its inspiration.<\/p>\n

But it’s not the end of the team or the series. “We’ve made a double announcement today,” the developer’s latest statement on Patreon<\/a> reads. “We’re making a sequel to Wreckreation \u2026 It’s built around aggression, pressure, risk, and of course consequence.”<\/p>\n

“Over the last six months we’ve been talking directly to players about what they want from a modern arcade driving game, and Wreckreation 2 is the result of those conversations,” said studio head Fiona Sperry. “From handling and progression to events and world design, our community has already helped shape key aspects of the experience. We’re building this game with the players, not just for them.”<\/p>\n
