New Midnight Club for PS3

Rockstar has just sent word on the latest, fourth instalment of its Midnight Club franchise, with a minor clue to the game’s content in its title - Midnight Club: Los Angeles.

The Rockstar San Diego developed night-time racer is the follow up to - you guessed it - Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition (pictured), and is due for release on Xbox 360 and PS3 sometime early 2008.

Rockstar’s bossman Sam Houser commented, "Midnight Club's addictive blend of freedom, style and sheer sense of speed sets it apart from its competition… With Midnight Club: Los Angeles, Rockstar San Diego looks to once again push the boundaries and expectations of what a racing game can be. Rockstar San Diego has always been the technology leader in delivering the ultimate racing experience, and with this game, they are looking to re-define the idea of a completely immersive racing game experience, both off-line and on-line."

Producer Jay Panek adds that, "On prior consoles, the Midnight Club franchise continually raised the bar for racing games, evolving from being the first ever street racing game to setting the defining standard for credibly integrating street racing culture with an intense racing experience. With Midnight Club: Los Angeles, our goal is to evolve on all possible levels and stay true to the hardcore gaming experience the series is known for, while making it accessible to casual gamers and car enthusiasts."

We await more concrete details on Midnight Club: Los Angeles and should be bringing you the first info and screens sometime very soon.
