Wreckfest makes a pit stop just before hitting the home stretch

October 17, 2018

Helsinki, Finland / Vienna, Austria, October 17, 2018: THQ Nordic and Bugbear Entertainment hereby announce that the release of Wreckfest on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and Xbox One series devices (including Xbox One X) will be delayed. The release of the game will therefore be postponed from November 20, 2018 to 2019.

Anti-bullshit quote: "Wreckfest for consoles will only be released as soon as we love playing it. After the fantastic release on PC, the benchmark for the console release is much higher. At this moment, the team needs more time to polish the multiplayer part, as well as the overall performance on the game to bring it up to par with the experience on PC. We are sorry for keeping fans waiting longer because of this. However, we already have compensation in the form of further vehicles, including a special crazy vehicle, in the works for consoles. " - says Roger Joswig, Senior Producer at THQ Nordic.
