    Get Crap-It! Wreckfest 2’s Latest Content Update #4 is Here to Embrace the Grunge

    The metal-mangling mayhem of Wreckfest 2 continues its glorious Early Access journey, and the latest drop—Content Update #4—is one of the most exciting yet! Bugbear Entertainment hasn’t just thrown in a new car and track; they’ve introduced a genuinely Wreckfest-worthy customisation feature that lets you fully embrace the post-apocalyptic aesthetic.

    Here’s a breakdown of what’s crashing into your game today:


    The Main Event: Introducing CRAP-IT™ Customisation!

    Forget pristine, polished rides—this is Wreckfest! The new CRAP-IT™ system is the standout feature, finally giving players the unique bodywork tools to customise their cars with that authentic, well-banged-up look the series is known for.

    • Rust, Dirt, and Damage: Add genuine-looking rust, chipped paint, dirt, and decals to transform your vehicle into a true relic of the track.
    • Visibility is Key: Your gloriously trashed-up creations are visible to everyone in multiplayer, so your opponents will know exactly how much of a derelict demolition artist you are.

    It’s time to stop making your car look good and start making it look worse (in the best way possible)!


    New Fodder & New Grounds

    What’s a content update without new material for the track and the scrapyard?

    • New Car: The Buggy: A nimble European folk racing car, reminiscent of the “People’s Car” design. This little off-roader will be perfect for technical courses and dodging the bigger, slower demolition kings.
    • New Track: Crash Canyon 2.0: A complete reimagining and overhaul of the classic Crash Canyon. Expect major jumps, chaotic intersections, and plenty of opportunities for spectacular pile-ups that only this series can deliver.

    Under the Hood: Major Gameplay & Stability Overhauls

    Beyond the new content, the team has implemented significant, game-changing tweaks across the board, making the on-track action better than ever:

    • Reworked Physics: Car suspensions have been revised for a more realistic response and better handling. Crucially, the behaviour of light cars has been adjusted, making them less “twitchy” and more consistent.
    • Enhanced AI: Opponents are smarter and now better match the selected difficulty level. Novice and Amateur AI are now noticeably easier, offering a gentler learning curve for newcomers.
    • System Stability: The update brings general crash fixes, stability improvements, faster car loading times, and expanded support for extreme resolutions and multi-monitor setups.
    • Online Play: Multiplayer sees enhanced input precision and improved matchmaking quality to ensure smoother, more stable online destruction derbies.

    Sound of Destruction: Audio Refinements

    Even the sounds of destruction have been tuned up! Expect a more dynamic soundscape, with redesigned starter motor sounds and exhaust limiter effects that become appropriately muffled depending on the camera’s position. The roar of the engine and the clang of metal have never sounded better.


    The Verdict

    Content Update #4 is a huge stride forward in Wreckfest 2’s Early Access development. The CRAP-IT™ tool is a brilliant, signature addition, and the extensive gameplay and stability overhauls show a clear commitment to delivering the ultimate demolition racing experience.

    Jump into the new Buggy, explore Crash Canyon 2.0, and get to wrecking!

  • The Guild Europa 1410 Announcement Trailer

    The Guild Europa 1410 Announcement Trailer

    The developer of The Guild: Europa 1410, Ashborne Games, recently released a behind-the-scenes look at how they created the game’s live-action announcement trailer.

    Here are some of the key details about the trailer’s production:

    Live-Action Focus: The trailer is primarily a live-action short film that captures the core themes of the game: climbing the social ladder, politics, and building a dynasty in a medieval society.

    Developer Involvement: The most notable aspect of the production is that the game’s own developers from Ashborne Games traded their keyboards for medieval attire and starred in the trailer themselves. This demonstrates their passion for the project and a unique, personal touch.

    Themes and Elements: The trailer showcases a range of medieval life and intrigue, including nobles and commoners, soldiers, thieves, a dramatic execution scene, romance, and a real raven.

    Production Company: The live-action portion of the trailer was created in collaboration with the production team from a company called Gnomon. https://theguild.thqnordic.com/

    Purpose: The trailer’s purpose was not just to show gameplay, but to immerse viewers in the world of The Guild and highlight the narrative possibilities within the game, such as becoming a merchant, a priest, a blacksmith, or a thief.

    The live-action component of the trailer was combined with snippets of gameplay footage to give viewers a taste of the simulation elements and the world they can influence. This behind-the-scenes reveal highlights the hard work and attention to detail that went into creating the cinematic announcement for the upcoming game.
