Warhammer 40K: Speed Freeks Prepares for Takeoff with Early Access Date

Calling all gearheads and greenskin fanatics! It’s time to crank up the WAAAAGH! and smack some teef into your rivals because Warhammer 40K: Speed Freeks just dropped its Early Access release date.

About Warhammer 40K: Speed Freeks

For those unfamiliar, Speed Freeks is a car combat game starring the Orks of Warhammer 40K. These greenskinned, violence-loving creatures are the perfect faction for a game about blasting opponents to bits with giant, rocket-propelled vehicles. Built on Unreal Engine 5, Speed Freeks promises an over-the-top spectacle of Orks demolishing each other in souped-up buggies and heavily armed tanks.

Several game modes are available, including Kill Konvoy, a chaotic 8v8 race where teams fight to propel their own giant Stompa (think a massive, walking weapon) while hindering the enemy’s. Deff Rally allows teams of 8 to race and battle for control points. While the Steam page mentions “Intense Racing,” it remains unclear whether this is a dedicated mode or simply a general descriptor.

Customization appears to be a key aspect of Speed Freeks. Players can modify their vehicles with kits, rims, tires, and paint jobs. The game utilizes a freemium model, meaning it’s free to play but offers in-game purchases for virtual currency that can be used to acquire cosmetic items.

Warhammer 40K: Speed Freeks Early Access Date

The good news is that Speed Freeks launches into Early Access on August 6th as a free-to-play title. This allows you to jump in and experience the madness without spending a dime. After a period in Early Access, the game is expected to receive a full launch later this year.

So, if you’re looking for an explosive and hilarious multiplayer experience filled with Orks and vehicular carnage, Warhammer 40K: Speed Freeks looks like the perfect title to check out. Mark your calendars for August 6th and prepare to WAAAGH! your way to victory.
