Carmageddon: Reincarnation will be released on next generation platforms following the completion of a $3.5 million funding round, Stainless Games has announced.

Les Edgar, shareholder of Stainless Games, founder of Bullfrog Productions and former VP of EA’s European Studios has offered the final part of the required funding for this development.

This new funding follows a successful Kickstarter back in June 2012 for the game’s development on PC.

“We are delighted to have fully funded Carmageddon: Reincarnation without having to go outside of the collective of our own company, shareholders and fans. It allows us to maintain a true independence and creative control whilst not having to compromise quality or content by budgetary constraints,” said Patrick Buckland, CEO and co-founder of Stainless Games.

Carmageddon: Reincarnation is described as a re-boot, but will be inspired by the classic environments, cars, drivers and power-ups from the original.

No specific next generation platforms have been mentioned, but we assume the game will be coming to PS4 and the next Xbox.
