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.
