OI! YOOZ SPEED FREEKS!
We wish you all a Dakka-filled Spring and sincere thanks for your energy and involvement in the Speed Freeks community so far!
[h2]More Mobbin’ means More Dakka!!! [/h2]
When we started creating Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks we set out to create a game that will quench every Ork fan's thirst for speed, mayhem, and of course, more dakka!
With your help, we aim to create the raucous racing that we’ve all been waiting for... a high-orktane combat racer, that's bursting with chaotic Orky energy!!
We believe that the best way to make Speed Freeks the most epic game it can be is by collaborating with our dedicated and knowledgeable player base, working together to improve and evolve the game.
To help with this partnership, we’ve set up community tools to collect, process, and take action on your feedback topics. The next step is getting you (back) into the game so we can revel in the vehicular mayhem as a mob and easily gather feedback.
Speaking of which, you can add, comment, and upvote our community topics here: https://speedfreeks40k.featureupvote.com/

Caged Element is a passionate game studio that specializes in intense combat racing titles. With their previous hit GRIP, they unleashed a flurry of speed and chaos upon the combat racing world, and with Speed Freeks they’re mashing an arcade racer with a third person shooter to create a thrilling death race that's ded Orky!
Caged Element also became known for involving the GRIP community in that game’s development process, and will continue this trend as much as they can again with all of you like-minded, adrenaline junky Speed Freeks!
