Ghost Bike, the upcoming cycling ‘em up fromNidhoggmakers Messhof, is now calledWheel World. The name change is designed to reflect some substantial changes to the game itself - and there’s a new trailer to show its current condition as a seemingly chill game about tinkering with bikes and riding them around pastel-coloured worlds.

The main issue seems to be that “ghost bikes” are a thing in the real world, and the association no longer made sense as the game has changed.
Wheel World is now a game “about the joy and freedom of living around bikes”, where you can customise your bikes in some pretty weird and wild ways.
New territory or not, I’m excited for anything Messhof produce. Nidhogg is a classic,Flywrenchis wonderful, and I’m fond of designer Mark Essen’s older work such as Cowboyana and Punishment 2: The Punishing.
Wheel World found its way onto the list ofour most anticipated games of 2024, thanks tonoted bike-likerAlice O. Maybe I can tempt her out of her field to write about it when it now arrives in early 2025.
