Ladies, gentlemen, and latent psychopaths, Stainless has officially confirmed that Carmegeddon: Reincarnation is a real thing, and will be launching as a downloadable game sometime next year.<\/p>\n

The announcement follows the mysteeeerious appearance last week of a countdown timer <\/a>on the official www.carmageddon.com domain.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, Stainless – who developed the original and rather notorious Carmageddon back in 1997, as well as the sequel, Carmageddon: Carpocalypse Now – has reacquired the brand from Square Enix.<\/p>\n

“Carmageddon has returned to its Indie developer roots, and the time is right to bring the game to a new audience,” says Patrick Buckland, Stainless co-founder and CEO.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

“Carmageddon: Reincarnation will feature the same black humour and comic violence that made the original game such a success,” adds studio co-founder Neil Barnden.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n
