Carmageddon: Rogue Shift launch trailer – roguelite vehicular‑combat on Nintendo Switch 2

A launch trailer has surfaced for Carmageddon: Rogue Shift, which just came to Nintendo Switch 2. After the series started in 1997, this new entry is a spin-off roguelite vehicular combat game.

Additional details can be found via the following Nintendo eShop description:

The legendary Carmageddon engine tears into 2050’s post‑apocalyptic streets. By day the skyline smolders; by night zombie hordes – the Wasted – flood every avenue. Your only way out is to win the Carmageddon: a chain of 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. Whether you live for stylish drifts, tactical loadouts or pure destruction racing, every run dishes out new combos and highlight‑reel moments.

Key Features

• Roguelite campaign – every run is a new branching map of events, shops and bosses.
• 15 upgradeable vehicles – FWD, RWD & 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 & day‑night cycle – rain slicks the tarmac, dawn burns away the fog.
• Elite & 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.

Gameplay Loop

• Race or wreck – bash rivals, mow down Wasted, drift corners, hit ramps and rack up Credits.
• Choose your path – the campaign graph branches toward shops, challenges and hidden elites.
• Refit on the fly – repair, swap weapons or bolt on fresh perks before the next event.
• Defeat the area boss – only a wrecking‑ball victory opens the gate to the next district.
• Escape… or die trying – if you crash and burn the Carmageddon restarts with a new driver, but your long‑term unlocks stay.
