Het is dan echt officieel, de brute racegame Carmageddon komt terug voor op de huidige gameconsoles. De game wordt gemaakt door de makers van de eerste twee succesvolle delen en moeten ons het oude Carmageddon gevoel teruggeven met Carmageddon Reincarnation.

De game staat gepland om in 2012 uit te komen en ontwikkelaar Stainless Games laat weten dat Carmageddon Reincarnation uitkomt in digitale vorm. Voor ons betekend dat dus dat Carmageddon Reincarnation in de PlayStation Store beschikbaar komt. Hopelijk krijgen we binnenkort meer beelden en nieuws over deze klassieker die terugkomt.

“The Carmageddon brand has been reacquired by the team that developed the original PC titles Carmageddon and Carmageddon 2: Carpocalypse Now. Stainless Games today announced that a new title is in early development, called ‘Carmageddon: Reincarnation’.

“Carmageddon has returned to its Indie developer roots, and the time is right to bring the game to a new audience.” said Patrick Buckland, CEO and Stainless co-founder. “Originally an ambitious title that tested the hardware limits of its day, we’re excited that the game will finally get the showcase it deserves on today’s platforms.”

“Carmageddon: Reincarnation will feature the same black humour and comic violence that made the original game such a success.” said Neil Barnden, Executive Director and Stainless co-founder, “All the laughs, the crazy power-ups, and extreme destruction will return. We will make sure the existing fans get what they want and expect from a Carmageddon game, and a new generation discovers the delights of sliding into a Cunning Stunt.”

“I was in the war!” Patrick added.

Now in the early stages of pre-production development, Carmageddon: Reincarnation is slated for release in 2012. Stainless Games is actively seeking a partner with whom to move the project on to full production.

Carmageddon: Reincarnation is being developed for digital download, for which Stainless Games have built an enviable worldwide reputation, with numerous cross-platform releases and multiple No.1 titles on XBLA.”
