Stainless Games Announce Carmageddon: Reincarnation, Coming 2012 To Multiple Platforms

Stainless Games announce they have acquired the Carmageddon brand and that they have a new title in development called Carmageddon: Reincarnation. Stainless Games originals worked on the PC titles Carmageddon and Carmageddon 2: Carpocalypse Now. Carmageddon: Reincarnation is in the early part of development so details are slim at the moment, but Stainless Games have said that it's coming to multiple platforms and they're aiming for a 2012 release.

Press Release

Isle of Wight, UK. 1st June 2011. 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.
