A playable demo is launching on October 13th for Steam Next Fest!

Early Access will be available on November 5th, 2025 (also the 30th anniversary of the first Twisted Metal!).

If youre new here, WRECKAGE is a car combat brawler and spiritual successor to Twisted Metal 1 & 2. Its half bar fight, half dog pile, pure road rage. Upgrade your vehicle, mount your guns, and fight for your right to survive the wastelands of a post-apocalyptic South Florida.

Theres so much to do yet, but we cannot wait for you to get your hands on our demo in about two weeks. So to help you prepare, were going to showcase some of the core systems in the game!

Lock-on System, Aerial Dodge, and Jump Slams

WRECKAGE features a lock-on system for breezy enemy targeting. Normal attacks are full-auto, and will track toward your target when youre locked on.Adding lock-on doesnt mean for easy wins though: youll still need to line up shots for the bullets to actually hit your target.

Lock-on serves another purpose aerial dodges and jump slams. In the spirit of WRECKAGE being a brawler game, you can launch your cars into the air with SPACE, tap it again to dodge, or if youre locked-on and in range, slam violently into your opponent. With so many explosions, specials, and mines being deployed in these arenas, we felt it was important to give players a way to be more in control.

If youve ever wondered what its like to reenact SuperSlam with a 2-ton rust bucket, youll be right at home.
