“After some minor delays we are proud to present the first big bang Early Access-Update for Wreckfest. We kept quiet for some time, but only to deliver a great demolition and racing experience now.” says Roger Joswig, a producer at THQ Nordic. “We introduced numerous new, exciting stuff like a first version of the career mode with 2 championships (for now), a new rival system, a first version of the component damage system, car tuning system and quite a bit more to be honest. We are really looking forward to the feedback from the community.”

Here’s a bullet list of all the changes:

• dedicated reset button added
• improved handling of all cars in the game
