Wreckreation hands you the keys to your very own driving and building open world called MixWorld! Explore 400 square kilometers of pure sandbox joy as you create, race and wreck alone or together with your friends.
Story
What if a single key could open up an entire 400 square kilometer driving game universe? You’ve probably thought about it. The seemingly infinite number of what-ifs inside your head after pouring countless hours into racing, open world and building games. Wreckreation is exactly that. Developed by Three Fields Entertainment, the UK-based team comprised of veteran arcade racing game developers, Wreckreation finally hands you the keys to your own MixWorld. This will be a MixWorld that you can decorating and personalize, either alone or in collaboration with your friends online. A place of your own where you can continually strive to outrace, out-stunt or even out-crash yourself and others with courses, tracks and game modes designed by you – or your friends – but yours will probably be better.
What is happening now
Wreckreation is an arcade racing game that launched in October 2025 across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. The original title drew comparisons to Burnout but failed to capture the same magic, leading to the original studio's closure after publisher THQ Nordic stepped back from the project. The sequel, Wreckreation 2, is being developed by When Tides Turn, a newly formed independent studio led by Criterion Games co-founder Fiona Sperry. The team aims to deliver the Burnout-inspired experience the first game promised, this time with an open-world design. What sets Wreckreation 2 apart is its community-driven development approach - the studio is actively inviting players to help shape the game as it comes together. The announcement has generated considerable interest around whether this second attempt can finally deliver the arcade racing experience fans have been waiting for.
