Destruction AllStars’ enormous Season 1 update will get underway starting next month, with developer Lucid Games rolling out the red carpet for a ton of new content. As previously announced, Hotshots will see the addition of a new AllStar, mode, and a ton of cosmetics as part of a Battle Pass-style unlock ladder.
The new AllStar is named Alba, a veteran competitor who’s returning to the contest after several years away. The fiery Scot is able to summon blockers out of the ground when on foot, and can fire lasers when in her hero vehicle. “These beams can be tactically deployed as you approach an enemy player, or in response to an enemy hero vehicle bearing down on you,” the PlayStation Blog explains.
The new cosmetics you’ll unlock as part of the AllStar Pass play into the red carpet theme, so you’ll be getting lots of “posh” outfits, with tails and ties the order of the day. “To progress your AllStar Pass, you’ll need to earn Season Points by completing matches online, with additional points on offer through new Seasonal Challenges and Sponsor Challenges,” the blurb adds.
There are 100 tiers of unlockable content, and it’ll cost 1,000 Destruction Points to buy in, which works out at about £7.99/$9.99. Of course, if you don’t want to pay, then there’ll also be free tiers for you to enjoy. Alba will also be getting a new single player Challenge Series, which will be available to purchase using Destruction Points as well.
As previously reported, Hotshots will also mark the addition of Photo Mode, as well as the new team-based Blitz game mode in June, which Lucid Games expects to become the new competitive standard for the release moving forwards. You can check out all of the new features and cosmetics in the trailer embedded above, and there’s a lot more information on the PS Blog as well.

Downloaded on launch, weak car mechanics and average gameplay made me delete.
Feels like it should be back on PS PLUS else the player base will dwindle.
#DOA?
If this update doesn't give the game the shot in the arm it desperately needs, then nothing will.
@RBMango I go with nothing will! But at minimum it should permanently be in Plus as maybe someone that's incredibly bored might give it a chance and like it.
@Juanalf Agreed. I'm very interested in seeing the player numbers a few weeks after this update launches. Also, while livestream viewership doesn't paint a full picture, DAS has been a ghost town on Twitch and YouTube for months.
It’s just not that fun. 🤷♂️
I'll get the battle pass for this. The gameplay is great and it would be rude not to considering what i payed for it. The only thing missing was some kind of progression and the battle pass should fix that.
I played it for a night. I thought it was boring as hell and not remotely well balanced. You either stomped or got stomped. Matchmaking was not up to par in regards to making even teams, or so it felt.
This game still has players lol?
We're actually still doing this huh?
Tried my best to enjoy this game, but no I can’t ;(
Edit: just found out Wreckfest PS5 is PS+ this month, bye bye All-Stars
Love this game still and I'll definitely be picking up the Battle Pass.
They Should Add Playstation Characters To The Roster.
Yeah this game is gonna die out fast and people won't be surprised by it.
I actually liked this game I'm ashamed to say but got the platinum then didn't play anymore... I preferred this game much more than wreckfest which I found really slow and boring maybe I didn't get far enough, I know I'm sorry
I'll be checking this out. I like the game. Obviously not buying any destruction points but I have some stored from some weekly challenges
Have it a few goes but it was boring and souless.
I'll download it again , I was distracted by Watch dogs and Demon souls puls gta island dlc
