"Next Car Game" Now Named Wreckfest

Bugbear Entertainment announces a new name for demolition derby-themed racing game previously known as "Next Car Game."

Fallout creator Bugbear Entertainment announced the name for its demolition derby-themed racing game with the following Urban Dictionary definition:

"Mostly common in racing series such as NASCAR and Formula 1 (aka F1). This happens on some tracks during races where the cars are close together and drivers misjudge how close the cars are. Thus, resulting in one big wreck after another."

"As Wreckfest is all about the madness of colliding cars at breakneck speeds, a term describing the glory of tearing metal is nothing if not apt," Bugbear said.

Bugbear also announced the release of Build #6 of Wreckfest, which adds 18 player multiplayer, a new track, new car and improved suspension physics.

Wreckfest is currently available only via Steam Early Access, Bugbear has yet to reveal a release date for the game.
