Here’s a name you haven’t heard that much in the past two decades: Carmageddon is teaming up with Wreckfest.

Bugbear Entertainment is a team you likely know from the 2000s as the devs of the first FlatOut games: these were solid racing and destruction derby games with solid physics and a good damage model. Its spiritual successor is Wreckfest, which lacked content when it launched, but it was a good game nevertheless.

And now, THQ Nordic and Bugbear announced a Carmageddon collaboration, meaning Stainless Games, the devs behind the IP, have agreed to lend a few things (two maps and a car) to Bugbear. Here’s the press release from the publisher: “Carmageddon and Wreckfest—a match made in hell! Wrecking your opponents and wrecking Zombies (and Zombie Cows!) in fast racing cars is what makes both games equally awesome, so it made all the sense in the world to combine them into one big event: The new Carmageddon Tournament is coming to Wreckfest today and all platforms and completely free of charge.

Players can take part in two different events on the famous Carmageddon tracks “Bleak City” and “Death Canyon” and unlock the iconic “Eagle R” car from Carmageddon: Max Damage. The monthly event is Carnage Accumulator: set in “Bleak City,” players are free to roam the map and have three minutes to score as many points as possible by wrecking artificial intelligence cars and eliminating green-blooded zombies.

The weekly events: Death Race, which is several racing events set in either Bleak City or Death Canyon, in which the players will race from checkpoint to checkpoint with the “Eagle R” and cause as much carnage as they can along the way by wrecking rivals and eliminating green-blooded zombies,” the publisher wrote.

Wreckest is now available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.
