TheBurnoutseries was famous for allowing players to engage in high-speed racing while encouraging them to get rough with opponents sharing the streets. Gamers fell in love with the intense crashes, fast cars, and over-the-top physics, but unfortunately, sinceBurnout Paradisein 2008, the series has lain dormant. For gamers looking for a similar kind of action, it might be worth looking towardsWreckreation.
Three Fields Entertainment is developingWrekreation, and the game promises to bring tons of vehicular destruction. Although a release date has yet to be announced, gamers should keep an eye on it as it has many of the features that madeBurnout Paradisea blast. LikeBurnout,Wreckreationwill let players cause plenty of chaos, but players will also be to unleash their creativity by designing their own tracks.

What Is Wreckreation?
Wreckreationis an upcoming actionracing gamethat will take players to MixWorld where they can explore, race, and crash to their heart’s content. Thanks to online play, the game will also feature a leaderboard for players to compete against other speed freaks around the world to be the greatest in various categories which include Drift, Air, Near Miss, Stunt, Crash, and Time. There will be a myriad of game modes to choose from, and players will be able to mix up different game modes or let other players become a “Guest DJ,” granting them the ability to decide the next game modes.
Of course, there will also be plenty of car customization available both in terms of cosmetics and performance. Players will be able to trick out their rides with different paint jobs, rims, transmission styles, and engine sounds, to name a few options, and they will all be available at the start of the game. The ability for players to customize their gameplay experience is not limited to their cars, as they will also have the opportunity to control traffic levels on the roads and even adjust the weather and time of day. Quite excitingly, players will also be able to switch between in-game radio stations orstream their own music through Spotify.
Can Wreckreation Replace Burnout?
Wrekcreationis likely to bear some similarities toBurnoutthanks to the fact that the developers are composed of folks who also worked onBurnoutandNeed for Speed. Hence, while it is an indie game, the developers behind it are certainly not amateurs. LikeBurnout Paradise,Wreckcreationwill also feature an open world for players to drive around looking for trouble. However, the game will also have many features to differentiate itself fromBurnout, and perhaps even surpass it.
One of the most notable features is the ability for players to design their own courses which they can invite friends to try out. Players will have various tools at their disposal which include half pipes, jumps, loops, and even moving obstacles. Occasionally, players will encounter vacant lots where they erect structures that will affect the world on a greater level. For example, building a police station will increase police presence in that area. The ability to customize almost all aspects of the game, together with the ludicrous courses which players can design, ensures thatWreckreationis not purely aBurnoutclone.
SinceBurnout’s absence, plenty of games have tried to fill in the gap it left in gaming, includingtitles likeWreckfestwhich let players indulge in dangerous driving. However,Wreckreationappears to show the most potential to pleaseBurnoutfans. Fortunately, it also brings enough new features to avoid being a mere copy of the successful franchise.
Wreckreationis in development for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
