Carmageddon‘s official site is displaying a countdown that will reach zero early the morning of June 1. The site is registered to Square-Enix, the series’ owner (acquiring it with Eidos). The series’ last release came in 2000; a Carmageddon 4 had been rumoured in 2005 but was put on hold indefinitely.
When we heard that Full Auto devs Pseudo Interactive had been shuttered by Eidos and SCi, we were told that their closure would affect a couple of unnamed projects. What we hadn’t been told was that, according to sources who have tipped off Next-Gen, Psuedo had in fact been working on a new Carmageddon game, which Eidos cancelled in February just before the Games Developers Conference. Eidos, what the hell were you thinking? The only thing the world needs more than love, sweet love is a new, current-gen Carmageddon game. Source: New Carmageddon Killed Off [Next-Gen]
