Wreckreation, an upcoming driving game set to launch on October 28, 2025, will feature an expansive open world, arcade-style crash mechanics, and a completely imaginative track construction system. Expect loops, jumps, and more. While it may not reach the absurdity of Mario Kart, it appears to blend elements of Burnout and Forza Horizon with a generous Hot Wheels flair.
Today, THQ Nordic released a new trailer confirming the game's release date and platforms, which include PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The official tagline reads: “Wreckreation is the home of your very own MixWorld, a 400 square kilometer racing environment for you to create, modify—and destroy.”
The game is being developed by Three Fields Entertainment, known for the beloved Burnout series. Anything from them is worth a look if you enjoy racing games.

It seems that the cars are unlicensed but closely resemble iconic designs. However, the real draw appears to be the extensive customization options for both the vehicles and their driving environments. If the idea of constructing gravity-defying tracks and smashing cars into delightful bits intrigues you, this game is likely to provide plenty of enjoyment.
In a recent press release, the studio described a feature that suggests the game may have some influence from Fortnite regarding real-time construction:
“…Wreckreation takes it a step further with its innovative Live Mix feature. Players can open the construction menu at any time to shape their own racing paradise. Build highways that soar into the clouds, design loops, ramps, and jumps, or position billboards, houses, decorations, and even colossal dinosaur statues. There are no limits to creativity—and everything can be shared. Invite friends to race, crash, and explore your personal racing wonderland together.”
While I usually prefer racing games that are somewhat grounded in reality (like Need for Speed or Forza Horizon), I can definitely see myself getting absorbed in creating outrageous tracks and witnessing cars being pulverized into pixels.
Although the official trailer highlights the excitement, a YouTuber’s overview entitled “Everything We Know So Far” from a few months ago provides better insight into what the user experience will entail.

"Provided the state does not contribute..."

Despite discussions about Germany making a return to the Formula 1 calendar, Ralf Schumacher believes the country faces too many challenges to reinstate its presence soon. F1 has already announced the 2026 schedule, featuring 24 races and six newly confirmed sprint events, including new hosts Canada, Zandvoort, and Singapore. Germany is not included in this lineup, although the F1 CEO has recently suggested a possible return to Hockenheim or the Nurburgring, particularly with Audi entering the sport and Mercedes already involved.
However, Schumacher mentioned to T-Online that German motorsport is declining. "In Germany, we currently have approximately 700 karting racing licenses, and that number is decreasing," he noted. "In England, for instance, there are around 4000. Karting is thriving there and in Italy, but here in Germany, it is gradually being phased out. There are hardly any proper kart tracks left, and the number of racing series is dwindling.
"It’s quite straightforward – if I remove football fields, there will be fewer football players, and that’s exactly the situation we’re facing in racing." To address this, Mercedes and ADAC have launched a partnership to support a German driver on the path to F1. Nonetheless, Schumacher believes manufacturers must also work together to restore Germany’s position on the calendar. "Collaborations are crucial," the former F1 driver stated. "If Mercedes and Audi ever decide to unite in this effort, progress could be made. I would love to see that happen."
However, Schumacher remains doubtful about a return without government support. "As long as the state does not invest financial resources—resources it would regain through the tourism generated by the race—it won't succeed," he argued. "Entry fees have become so high that the organizer must provide a comprehensive security package involving police and fire departments – Hockenheim won’t be able to generate sufficient revenue. You don’t need a math degree to understand that it won’t work.
"But I still hold onto hope."
