Peacock’s smash-hit action-comedy series Twisted Metal is shifting into high gear for San Diego Comic-Con 2025! The series is bringing fans a full-throttle experience that promises bumper-to-bumper chaos and adrenaline-pumping fun. To celebrate the highly anticipated second season, Twisted Metal is unleashing a can’t-miss Bumper Battle activation from Thursday, July 24 to Saturday, July 26 at The Lot @ 1st & J in downtown San Diego.

The Twisted Metal Bumper Battle plunges fans into a post-apocalyptic battleground inspired by the show’s deadly demolition derby. Participants will select from reimagined versions of the show’s most iconic vehicles that have been converted into real bumper cars. Then, they will step into their very own twisted tournament, hosted in spirit by the show’s enigmatic villain, Calypso. Beyond the high-impact ride, guests can expect Instagram-worthy photo ops, a display of actual tournament vehicles from the show, surprise guest appearances, and a chaotic celebration of the series’ wild energy.
