Three Games, known for its founding by ex-Criterion Games, is still looking for its first hit despite its 2019 release of Burnout’s spiritual sequel, Dangerous Driving, with few promises. With Wreckreation, the studio changed the registration and wanted to leave the game expressing player creativity through an open-world racing game with whimsical circuits reminiscent of the Hot Wheels expansions of Trackmania and Forza Horizonn.
As such, Wreckreation is presented as a large 400-square-kilometer sandbox, called MixWorld, where players can freely shape spectacular tracks by placing ramps, springboards, half pipes, and even moving obstacles. The studio’s goal is to give players complete freedom of customization. “At MixWorld you are god”, which involves controlling climate, time of day and even traffic.
The rankings are divided into seven categories, including coasting, stunts, accidents and, of course, speed. These vehicles can also be customized from the start (paint, finishes, wheels, exhaust flames, windows, tires, manual or automatic transmission).In terms of sound, the game will offer 16 radio stations, but can also play its own radio station playlist Spotify. Announced for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC in 2023, Wreckreation will be played at the Cologne Game Show in Cologne from August 24th to 28th.
