34BigThings has confirmed a release date for Carmageddon: Rogue Shift, which is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 next month.
Ready to deliver “spin-off roguelite vehicular-combat mayhem,” you must unleash destruction upon post-apocalyptic zombie hordes.
By day, the skyline smoulders. By night, zombie hordes – referred to as the Wasted – flood every avenue. Your only way to escape is to win the Carmageddon, lethal underground races whose champion earns a shot at the last spaceport beyond the mountains.
“Carmageddon: Rogue Shift blends the signature metal‑on‑metal carnage of the classic series with modern roguelite depth and silky arcade handling,” the developer explains on the game’s Nintendo eShop listing. “Whether you live for stylish drifts, tactical loadouts or pure destruction racing, every run dishes out new combos and highlight‑reel moments.”
The developer has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Roguelite campaign: Every run is a new branching map of events, shops and bosses.
- 15 upgradeable vehicles: FWD, RWD and AWD tanks, buggies and hot‑rods with dynamic visual damage.
- 13 weapon classes: Shotguns, miniguns, missile racks, railguns, lasers and more.
- 80+ perks: Stack synergies that turn your rust bucket into a rolling apocalypse.
- Dynamic weather and day‑night cycle: Rain slicks the tarmac, dawn burns away the fog.
- Elite and Boss events: Square off against corrupted Enforcer patrols and colossal war‑rigs.
- Permanent progression: Spend Beatcoins in the Black Market to unlock new cars, guns and perks between runs.
Carmageddon: Rogue Shift will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 worldwide on 6 February 2026.
