Wreckreation 2 announced for PlayStation 5, XBOX Series X|S, and PC

Newly founded studio When Tides Turn announced Wreckreation 2, an open-world arcade racing game that is the sequel to the 2025 release of Wreckreation. It is going to release on PlayStation 5, XBOX Series X|S, and PC via Steam.

When Tides Turn was formed by Criterion Games co-founder Fiona Sperry.

“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 When Tides Turn studio head Fiona Sperry.

A release date has not been announced for the arcade racing sequel.

Below is an overview of Wreckreation 2 (Thanks Gematsu):

Every Race is a Battle

Victory isn’t just about finding the fastest line. It’s about reading your rivals, choosing the right moment to attack, fighting for every position and taking risks that others won’t.

Slam opponents aside, force mistakes, seize opportunities and deliver the perfect takedown. Every race unfolds differently, creating battles that last from the first corner to the finish line.

A World Built for Battling

Welcome to Heartbreak City. Every neighborhood has its own character, and every road offers another opportunity to gain an advantage.

Battle your way through dense downtown streets. Test your speed on sweeping overhead freeways. Turn expansive airport runways and towering dockyards into giant playgrounds, then uncover hidden backroads full of daring shortcuts.

The more you learn Heartbreak City, the more it gives back. Every shortcut discovered, every route mastered and every risk taken becomes another advantage when the battle begins.

Your City, Your Challenge

Whether you’re battling for first place in a Race, surviving the chaos of Road Rage, hunting rivals in Marked Man, escaping Pursuits, mastering Blackspots, conquering Wreckonings or becoming the last car standing in Eliminators, there’s always another way to prove yourself.

Jump into your favorite events, discover new ones as you explore, or create and share your own experiences with Live Mix. However you choose to play, Heartbreak City is yours to master.
