The original developers of the classic PC hit-and-run game Carmageddon has announced that it is working on a new game in the series.
Carmageddon: Reincarnation aims to bring back some of the old-school comical driving and extreme destruction of the 1990s to modern-day platforms. UK indie developer Stainless Games said that the game is currently in pre-production, and is looking for a partner to help bring it forward to full production.
Having created the original Carmageddon and Carmageddon 2: Carpocalypse Now, Stainless is pretty excited to have its baby back. "Carmageddon has returned to its Indie developer roots, and the time is right to bring the game to a new audience," CEO and studio co-founder Patrick Buckland said.
"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."
Fellow co-founder and executive director Neil Barnden continued the happiness by adding, "Carmageddon: Reincarnation will feature the same black humour and comic violence that made the original game such a success.
"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."
The sequel is currently slated for a 2012 release. No platforms have been announced as yet, but we'd have to eat something undesirable if it wasn't destined for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network at the very least.
