Wrecknado Warning: New Tournament and Car Pack For Wreckfest Out Now!

Are you ready to face the "Wrecknado"? This brand new track is built for pure destruction - four big loops will lead the drivers right into the vortex of wrecking. This is tied into this month’s tournament, where wrecking meets racing: the player's goal is to wreck as many AI cars on the new track as possible. And the better the position in the race they are, the higher the score that’s awarded.

Try out the Wrecknado today, it's a free update for all players on PC, Xbox One™ and PlayStation®4.
