Carmageddon: Rogue Shift secures February release date

Nearly 10 years since the last main series entry and 19 years since the controversial original, the Carmageddon reboot now has a firm release date.

Carmageddon: Rogue Shift will be released on 6th February 2026 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The game has been confirmed for Nintendo Switch 2, although the release date is not yet clear.

This new instalment is being developed by the Italian team 34BigThings, previous creators of the Redout anti-gravity racers.

It will feature 15 unlockable vehicles, which promise distinct attributes, customisable with a claimed 13 weapon classes and over 80 ‘perks’.

Paths (read track) are said to be ‘randomly generated’ with ‘dynamic’ difficulty. Therefore, as each campaign run is different, along a branching map of events (including bosses) without restarts, this is classified as ‘Roguelite’, with “certain permanent bonuses” retained.

Set in a post-apocalyptic 2050, zombies return, although this time called ‘Wasted’ and with a new backstory. Principally, this looks to be a vehicle combat racing title, with elements that remind us of the 2008 movie Death Race.

The PlayStation Store pre-order page is also live, alongside a new batch of images on the PlayStation Blog, revealing a £32.99 / $39.99 price.  On Xbox, it is currently listed at £39.99.

Traxion has not been able to test a preview build for Rogue Shift, as it was only offered as part of a non-editorial sponsored content process. We hope to test the game for a full review next month.
