Jagex announces Carnage Racing

Racer from new Californian studio.

Published 2012-10-11

Jagex, the developers behind the enduring MMO RuneScape, has just announced Carnage Racing, a new racer due out in November that promises "a fast-paced experience, complete with a wide variety of vehicles, weapons, warps, boosts and tricks."

We can expect to scrap it out against up to 7 other competitors, or there'll be leader boards to aim at, as well as straight up racing against the AI.

Arash Amini, the game's producer, said: "Carnage Racing perfectly blends arcade style gameplay mechanics with AAA graphics to give racing fans a Facebook gaming experience like no other. With a vast array of customisation, upgrades and an army of waiting competitors, Carnage Racing is set to change the way people think about racing games on Facebook."

The game is being developed by Jagex's newly formed Californian studio, which consists of ex-Rockstar devs responsible for the Midnight Club series. Carnage Racing has been built using the Unity engine, and the screens are looking a cut above the usual quality we see on games on Facebook.

Jagex's Rob Ollett added: "Carnage Racing is set to bring the development quality of AAA gaming to Facebook by presenting racing fans with a truly compelling and unbeatable multiplayer racing experience. With Carnage Racing, we are determined to offer a console-like experience which capitalises on Facebook's vast network to match player's race after race, in what promises to be the best 3D racer on Facebook."
