On 22nd July 2026, we announced that we had formed a new studio, When Tides Turn, and revealed that it would be the home of our next game, Wreckreation 2.
For anyone who has followed Three Fields Entertainment over the years, we wanted to explain what that means and where we’re heading next.
Since the launch of Wreckreation, we’ve continued to support the game with 18 updates, many of them driven directly by player feedback. Throughout that time we’ve also been looking at everything we’d learned and asking ourselves where to take the series next.
One question we’ve ben asked a few times is:
“Why make Wreckreation 2? Why not just keep updating Wreckreation?”
The honest answer is that we did keep updating Wreckreation for as long as we realistically could.
Patreon helped keep the team together and contributed towards those updates, but it didn’t come close to covering the ongoing cost of development. Eventually, we had to make a choice. We could continue trying to reshape Wreckreation piece by piece, or we could take everything we’d learned, both from the things that worked and the things that didn’t, and build a new game around those lessons.
We chose the second option.
Fortunately, because we own the Wreckreation IP, we were able to do exactly that.
Wreckreation 2 doesn’t exist because we’ve forgotten about Wreckreation. It exists because of everything Wreckreation taught us. Some of those lessons came from things we were proud of. Others came from criticism that wasn’t always easy to hear, but ultimately put us in a much better position.
Another important lesson has been the value of developing alongside our community. Instead of disappearing for years and hoping we’ve guessed right, we’re continuing to develop Wreckreation 2 in the open, sharing regular updates and running playtests throughout development.
While Three Fields Entertainment remains the home of our existing games, When Tides Turn is now where you’ll find all future news, development updates and projects from the team.
If you’d like to follow the development of Wreckreation 2, see behind-the-scenes updates including a replay of the Live Stream demonstrating the game, or find out how to apply for future playtests, we’d love to have you join us on Patreon. You don’t need to be a paid member to follow development, and we’ll continue opening playtests up to more people as development progresses.
Finally, we’d simply like to say thank you. Three Fields Entertainment has been an incredible journey, and we’re enormously grateful to everyone who has played our games and supported us over the years.
We hope you’ll join us as we begin this next chapter at When Tides Turn.
