Some time ago it was rumored that Bugbear Entertainment is working on a new racing game that will again give the origins of the developer. So a sequel to the successful FlatOut series.
With the release of a first teaser trailer, under the name "Next Car Game" (as used internally at Bugbear all games called before the final name is common), it is now identified. The next match of the Finns will definitely return a crash racer, who is clearly moving in the direction FlatOut.
Wreckfest, an intense vehicular combat game by Bugbear, has leapt into the next-gen with its PS5 upgrade. Newcomers will certainly enjoy the mayhem and chaos it brings to derby racing. However, those who are already familiar with the game might wish to read a review or two before deciding whether the upgrade is worth the price tag.
THQ Nordic has announced the purchase of Coffee Stain Studios (Deep Rock Galactic) and Bugbear (Wreckfest). They have 35 unannounced projects at the moment.
Quality > Quanity
Having this many games in development is just asking for trouble.
I wish THQ Nordic the best of luck. Personally I love their games as they got a bit of quirkiness and doesn't follow most other trends in the gaming industry. Sure, they're not perfect by any means and their games don't scream AAA GOTY, but if anything their games has always been one thing for me personally, and that is fun. I'm excited for Darksiders 3 in the next few weeks as I have it pre-ordered to support them.
Bugbear Entertainment, developers of the highly anticipated Next Car Game, later renamed Wreckfest, have filed for bankruptcy.
I see destruction derby....not Flatout in this video...
All in game glory too...Looks great. I have wanted this for quite a long time,really hope we get to see figure 8's and some new creative tracks. A track editor would be a great addition too, as would a car creation tool, for something a little extra...
Game looks like some old school fun.
