WAAAGH! TAKES FLIGHT – Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks takes Flight with the New Deffkopta Vehicle, Plus Two Intense New Maps in a Free Update for Orktober

Watford, UK – October 23, 2025 – Strap in and rev up, because Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks is about to take flight. To celebrate Warhammer Day, publisher Wired Productions and developer Caged Element have unleashed a game-changing free update that lets players race and fight from the skies for the first time. Introducing a unique new vehicle, the faithfully recreated and iconic Deffkopta flying unit – plus two new battlegrounds to add to the all-out Orky racing mayhem. On top of that, players can grab the game for 55% off as part of Game Workshops Warhammer Sale event.

Watch the trailer now:

A favourite of Warhammer fans for decades, the Deffkopta brings aerial combat to Speed Freeks, adding an entirely different way to play the game. Players can now rocket through the air, unleash high-speed strafing runs, and rain chaos on rival racers below. Combined with two new maps built for bigger, faster, and louder warfare, this update redefines what “WAAAGH!” really means.

“This new vehicle really changes the dynamic of the game”, said Chris Mallinson, Game Director. “And although it’s so different, it fits right in and compliments the rest of the vehicles we’ve got. We’re pumped to see how players will use it, because it’s a hell of a lot of fun to even just fly around”

Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks is a high-octane combat racing game where players pilot Ork-built buggies, tanks, and now Deffkoptas through explosive multiplayer mayhem. Combining over-the-top weapons, outrageous Orky energy, and relentless speed, it delivers a unique mix of racing and destruction inspired by the brutal Warhammer universe.

The Deffkopta & New Maps Update is completely free for all players on Steam, offering months of developer craftsmanship to celebrate Warhammer Day in true Ork fashion. Update Highlights:

• Take Flight with the Deffkopta Experience aerial vs. ground combat for the first time in the game. Take the Speeedwaaagh! to the skies with the Deffkopta adding an aerial threat to the mix and a level of verticality that offers more ways to fight, race, team up, and win!
• Two New Maps Battle across fresh, chaos-filled racetracks built for maximum mayhem. Scrap In Da Yard – a Kill Konvoy map featuring vertical combat and a trench requiring expert driving skills to navigate. Deff Gorge– the existing Kill Konvoy map “Da Gorge” gets as now-covered visual overhaul and expands its borders into a Deff Rally map.
• Totally Free No microtransactions. No paid DLC. Just pure Ork madness.

Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks is available now on Steam.
