Mobile Wreckfest Port Announced

We cover a lot of racing and car-related games here at Phenixx Gaming. Nonetheless, I don’t often see many mainstream racing games coming to mobile devices, other than endless runner types or things like Mario Kart Tour. To my surprise, a short while ago I saw a press release that seems to be bringing Wreckfest to mobile devices.

HandyGames, the dev team that ported Wreckfest to the Nintendo Switch, is bringing Wreckfest to Android and iOS devices. While they haven’t given any specifics on when the release date is, the team at HandyGames has announced that a full mobile port is coming this fall. Here’s a bit of what they had to say on the matter.

“For a long time this gaming pearl was only available on PCs and Consoles, but times are changing! After THQ Nordic worked with us to port this neck-breaking, dust-eating, sheet-metal-bending mayhem to the Nintendo Switch, it was up to the pros at HandyGames to free this gas-guzzling classic from its immobile confines so it can roam free on mobile platforms.

Expect epic crashes, neck-to-neck fights over the finish line, and brand-new ways for metal to bend. These are the once-in-a-lifetime moments that can only be achieved in Wreckfest, with its true-to-life physics simulation once brought into this world by legendary developer Bugbear Entertainment

Wreckfest is jam-packed with upgrade and customization options. Whether you are preparing for your next demolition derby with reinforced bumpers, roll cages, side protectors, and much more, or setting your car up for a banger race with engine performance parts like air filters, camshafts, fuel systems, etc. Wreckfest is shaping up to be the best combative motorsport game out there.”

If you’re a fan of Wreckfest and want to take it on the go, this seems like it may be a decent option. I’m a little curious as to how the size of the game will affect performance on mobile devices though. Performance, in general, could be an issue, but only time will tell.
