Carmageddon timer counts to new game?

Square Enix may be about to unveil a brand new Carmageddon game.

Says who? Says the - drum roll - www.Carmageddon.com countdown timer.

At the time of writing there are 11 days and 17 hours left. That means the clock will chime zero at 9am BST on Wednesday, 1st June.

Carmageddon was cancelled as a series during the development of Carmageddon 4 in 2005.

Carmageddon, released first in 1997, spiced up car racing by granting race-time for wrecking competing vehicles and smashing into pedestrians. Such a premise attracted a lot of controversy, resulting in a 10 month to-and-fro as Eidos waited for the BBFC to clear the game for UK sale.
