Jagex has just announced that Carnage Racing, the first game from their newly formed US-based studio, has launched on Facebook.

The game has been made using the Unity engine, and Jagex are hoping that an increased level of polish will resonate well with the Facebook game playing community, and maybe draw in a few undecideds.

The game is to feature races across 13 different tropical island tracks, with up to 8 players in each race. Beyond that there are to be 5 upgradeable cars, and 5 customisable weapons.

"Triple A gaming isn't often associated with Facebook gaming and we are determined to change that," said Jagex's Jay Panek.

"We wanted to take all our experience from the Midnight Club series and apply the same quality and gameplay benchmarks in a Facebook environment.  The result is Carnage Racing, a massively addictive racing game where the main aim is not only the beat your friends to the finish line, but also the see how many of them you can blow up along the way!"
