Destruction AllStars was announced way back in the summer, but we've barely seen anything of the game since, let alone gameplay. Today that changes, however, with a brand new trailer showing off a couple of minutes of gameplay from the PlayStation 5 title.
It's looking pretty good. Competitors engage in destruction derby style chaos, but if you wreck your ride, you'll be running about on-foot, playing a risky game of Chicken with the remaining vehicles. It seems you can take over another player's car to get back into the fray, and even call in a special vehicle to dominate. One thing we noticed is the sheer amount of particles flying around — it looks great.
Over on the PlayStation Blog, community manager George Rule goes over some of the game's multiplayer modes. Mayhem is akin to a regular deathmatch. Carnado has you earning Gears and then banking your points in the titular twister. Stockpile is a capture and control style mode, while Gridfall is a little like a battle royale, where the arena floor falls away over time.
There's also a practice mode and a Challenge Series, which pits you against AI in numerous challenges. Of course, there will be a wide variety of cosmetic items to unlock, and you can equip them in the Rewards section.
All sounds pretty decent to us so far. Hopefully we can see more extended gameplay soon. Destruction AllStars was originally planned for PS5's launch, but has now been delayed to February, where it will be made available to PS Plus members for no extra cost. Are you excited to play this one? Get behind the wheel in the comments section below.

I see this potentially being a sleeper hit like Rocket League
This games looks like it's going to fun. It being on PS Plus is going to help it get a great player base. The characters look unique. I hope they have unique abilities per person.
This looks like it could be a blast to play! Should've been free from the start but I'm very happy they adjusted it. Look forward to trying it in a few months!
I wanted to play this when they mentioned it as a launch title but I didn't think it would be worth the full price that they were asking for. With it being a free game I am excited to get this when it releases.
I think a lot of people felt the same way about wanting to play it but not with a full price tag.
Not feelin this one
As good as the gameplay might be, that disastrous commentary ruins it. Trying this one without audio I think, and then only because it’s free.
This is going to be a hit! As a free ps+ game this is going to take off big time!
I wouldn't bother if this was still $70. Sony saved this game at the last minute from a death sentence.
I'll give this a try since it'll be a Plus offering. It could be some fun chaotic mayhem, or it could just plain suck. Either way, it's worth a go to find out.
I've been excited for this one ever since it was announced. Was upset at first when I heard it got delayed then I heard it would be free on PS+.
I definitely will try it on plus, adding the game on psplus is the best thing sony has done to this game, multiplayer games like these needs big player numbers.
This game will either go hero or die a zero. Nothing in between.
Looking good! I'm glad this is coming on PS+ though
The way this game has been marketed, I get the feeling they always knew it was coming out in February.
They just needed something to show the console in action to excite people for the launch.
It looks pretty rough, but might be fun in spurts. The decision to make this a PS+ offering was a good one.
Sounds like they got Tony the Tiger to commentate. This game looks GRRRRRREAT.
this actually looks pretty fun! a little Burnout, mixed in with some Twisted Metal. i appreciate that you're not just a lame duck when you are on foot and that you have some power to try and steal back a vehicle.
i hope there's some single player aspect - if it does, then this will be a great "side" game to play / or that game you play to take a break from your "main" game.
What even is this $70 monstrosity?
Glad it’s free on PS+ because this looks as bland as I expected it to.
@Salohcin The same thing I say about every COD that gets released! At least this is something different, some originality to it. Saying that, if it wasn't on PS+ I'd not be playing it, not anytime soon anyway.
I've been obsessing over Rocket League for a couple of weeks now, hadn't played it before that. This looks like it's going to be pretty similar, definitely my thing!
The gameplay looks fun, but the aesthetics are nauseating. Hopefully the former can overshadow the latter.
