Former Burnout Developers Announce Open-World Racing Game Wreckreation 2
When Tides Turn, a new studio founded by former Burnout series lead Fiona Sperry, announced Wreckreation 2 on July 21. The open-world racing game is in development for PC via Steam, with no release date set. The sequel takes place in Heartbreak City, an open world featuring urban streets, highways, airport runways, and shipyards, with hidden shortcuts. Gameplay focuses on high-contact racing where players ram rival cars to cause takedowns, reminiscent of the Burnout series. Modes include standard races, Marked Man (hunting rivals), Pursuits (escaping pursuit), Eliminators (last car standing), and Road Rage (takedown count competition). The Live Mix feature from the first game returns, letting players place objects on the map to create custom courses. Online multiplayer is planned. The previous game, Wreckreation (2025), was developed by Three Fields Entertainment, which laid off all staff due to financial issues. When Tides Turn comprises the same team members, now operating under a new studio name.
