Carmageddon is back with Carmageddon: Rogue Shift, but this time around, there’s a new veteran studio behind the wheel and the carnage is driving into the roguelite space. This is everything we know about the legendary vehicular video game series’ return so far.
Though details are scarce (and censored) for now, we’re already setting up this page to collect every bit of information on Carmageddon’s long-awaited comeback, which is being developed by 34BigThings, the studio behind Redout and its sequel, among other games. Keep an eye on this article as fresh news and trailers start hitting the road.
Carmageddon: Rogue Shift Release Date
No release date or window has been set for Carmageddon: Rogue Shift yet, though we’re expecting to learn about the developer’s plans for it in early December.
- Carmageddon: Rogue Shift release window: TBD
Carmageddon: Rogue Shift Story
We’re not expecting a lot in terms of story from a new Carmageddon game, especially if the new vision for the property involves a roguelite structure.
Then again, we haven’t learned any specifics yet, and there are plenty of roguelite games that managed to create a pretty well-balanced mix of narrative and relentless action, so we’re open to being surprised.
Carmageddon: Rogue Shift Gameplay
The folks at 34BigThings have already shown players they excel at making speedy video games, so the studio seems like a perfect fit for the Carmageddon IP from the get-go, yet the teased roguelite element brings all sorts of possibilities to the table.
The censored (for now) Steam description is teasing a combat-racing roguelite, which suggests both racing elements and Twisted Metal-like vehicular combat that may or may not come together across a number of different modes. As for the roguelite elements, expect upgrades and power-ups that can make Carmageddon: Rogue Shift highly replayable in fresh new ways.
Again, this is just speculation until the game is fully revealed, so come back for a better rundown once that happens. The wildest bit of information available so far is that zombies could be part of the package too.
Carmageddon: Rogue Shift Price and Platforms
No price tag has been set yet for Carmageddon: Rogue Shift, and it might be a while (even after the reveal) before we get one, unless 34BigThings is shadow-dropping it.
Right now, there’s only a PC (Steam) version confirmed, though we’d be surprised, considering the pitch, if its gory battles didn’t reach other platforms.
Carmageddon: Rogue Shift Trailers
Only one teaser trailer for Carmageddon: Rogue Shift has been released at the time of writing. It contains very brief snippets of footage, sets a dark and brutal atmosphere, and promises actual news on December 4. Watch it below:
