Wreckreation to receive crossplay support and new car DLC

• Wreckreation’s next patch will arrive next week with handling improvements
• First post-launch DLC will add four additional cars in November
• New features planned include crossplay support and LiveMix buildings

Developed by the original creators of Burnout, Wreckreation was released last week. In response to player feedback, two PC patches have already addressed numerous issues, with console patches expected to follow soon.

Now, developer Three Fields Entertainment has released a roadmap detailing what players can expect in updates over the next few weeks and beyond.

Following the first two patches, a third patch will be released next week. This patch will improve the handling and make some cars more responsive, preventing them from spinning out when not drifting. Crash physics will also be more consistent.

 In addition, Wreckreation will receive its first post-launch DLC, with four additional cars joining the roster this month: the Huntsville Nebraska, Mitani Suprema, Freiberg AMG W Class and Delon Mulsanne, with the latter two being track-based. Each vehicle will have its own Wreckoning event, which will unlock an upgraded version, doubling the number of new cars to eight.

Although there is no release date yet, Three Fields aims to release the DLC pack in the third week of November. It’s unclear whether it will be free or paid DLC.

Additional Live Mix objects will also be added, including narrow straights and curves that connect to the existing Spiral and Sky Tracks, as well as PlayStation 5 Pro support, allowing the game to run at a native 4K and 60fps.  

One of the most highly requested features, the developer is working on adding crossplay multiplayer support across all platforms, though there is no timeframe yet. This will be a welcome addition since Wreckreation is an online-focused game, making it easier to matchmake with other players in multiplayer sessions.

Buildings will also be added LiveMix editor in response to criticisms about the map being empty and lacking urban areas.

This week also saw the release of a second PC patch, which makes AI opponents easier to catch up with in Road Rage and fixes a bumper cam glitch where the viewpoint didn’t sync with the car’s pitch.

Wreckreation Patch 2 notes

• Fixing a bug where under certain circumstances your car would be allowed to flip over when cornering
• Fix for bumper camera not inheriting the car’s pitch properly
• Make the Road Rage AI easier to catch when it is a long way ahead of the player
• Change the target spawning locations in Road Rage so as to target 1 ahead and the rest spawning behind
• Additional PSOs generated as part of ongoing work to reduce stalls and stuttering on PC

(Consoles following as soon as possible.)

• Physics and Reaction Improvements including fixing issues coming back from Takedown cameras, improving combat, making crash ‘rules’ more consistent between events and freedrive and make them speed based, reduce likelihood of other physics issues.
• Handling Improvements including improve responsiveness of some cars, fix cars that tend to spin out when not drifting and reduce likelihood of cars flipping over when offroad.
• Fix bug where the custom car engine audio will reset if you crash.
• Correct the Stats reporting of Wreckords to not combine Drift Combo and Drift Wreckords to avoid confusion in whether you have unlocked the Fellow Traveller Trophy/Achievement.
• Correct the Stats reporting of Completed Events and Total Wins to exclude the Tutorial Race (as you can’t replay it if you don’t win it, making it unfair for completionists) and include the Stunt Runner event.
• Correct the text on the ‘We are the Champions’ Trophy/Achievement to reflect that it is awarded for all Road Races (so excluding Offroad Races and Sky Track Races).
• Fix a bug with 2 Live Mix icons (Glen Ross Farms overpass and Smokey Tower) that are duplicates of others and therefore will not unlock. New unlocks added for those 2 collectibles.
• Change the ‘collected’ Live Mix icon to something more obvious rather than being transparent.
• Display all unlocks on the map once the “Blown all Cobwebs” Trophy/Achievement is unlocked.
• Fix TFE Wreckreation Challenge 8 loading the wrong challenge (but there is already a workaround if you load it in world).
• World fixes reported by players e.g. holes in rocks, missing text on signs etc.
• Fixes for Crashes reported by players.
