Wrekless – New Skateboarding MMORPG Teaser
Free Range Games, a studio whose members worked on Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, is developing a new skateboarding game. The MMORPG dubbed Wrekless, is an online skateboarding game for up to 50 players.
According to its Steam page, the game is a “love letter to skateboarding culture.” Wrekless’ subtitle is ‘SKATE. BUILD. SHARE. and that summarizes what you can do in the game.
The launch trailer shows characters skating, grinding, flipping, jumping – all kinds of skateboarding activities. Although strongly inspired by Tony Hawk games, the game looks fresh and appealing.
It is the building aspect that makes Wrekless stand out. Players can construct their own skateparks, complete with bouncy floors, lava pits, and meteor showers. This is a great promotional idea that should catch the attention of a lot of people.

There are also minigames mentioned in the description, but no details are given about what they entail. Obstacle courses, maybe? Besides creating your dream skatepark, you’ll have the option of building and modifying parks that other players are skating in simultaneously.
However, the fun does not stop there! Wrekless will allow mischievous players to do the unimaginable. “Drop a speed boost and kicker in front of your friends as they jam down a mega ramp. Or grief ‘em by dropping a giant bus in their path.”
All skateparks created by you and others can be shared with the community.
A release date for the early access version of the game is not yet specified, but expect it in July, August, or September. Developers plan to have the game in early access for one year, but will make changes if needed based on community feedback.
