- Difficulty Tuning Update - 17 July 2026
Hey Runners,We've been reading your feedback, watching gameplay, and it's clear we made the early game more difficult than we intended.We’ve pushed an update focused on giving new crews more time to learn the game before the pressure really ramps up. You'll have more breathing room to explore, figure out the ORCA, salvage wrecks, and get your footing before things start getting dangerous. As your run progresses, the challenge should still ramp up and continue to test experienced players.This isn't the final balance pass. We'll keep monitoring feedback and gameplay data and continue making adjustments where they're needed.Thanks for playing, and please keep the feedback coming. It's making a real difference.– Disruptive Games

- Wreck Runners Dives Into Ocean Fest - 18 May 2026
Hey Runners,We're delighted to say that Wreck Runners is taking part in Ocean Fest!To mark the occasion, we wanted to talk a bit about the ORCA and why it's such a big part of what makes a run in Wreck Runners feel the way it does.From the start, we never wanted the ORCA to feel just like a vehicle you park outside the action. It's meant to be what your whole crew depends on. The ORCA is your shelter, your workhorse, and your getaway plan.And it's not just designed to take you across land - Her role is even more important when the job takes you below the surface.Part of the fun (and the chaos) of the Triangle is that danger is not limited to what's out on the road. Some of it lies underwater, and submerged salvage can be just as valuable, if not more valuable.That's where the moonpool comes in.The Moonpool gives the ORCA a direct way to support your underwater salvaging operations. It a…
