Stainless Games has announced that the Early Access release of Carmageddon: Reincarnation will launch on Steam on March 27th. According to the company, this Early Access release is a milestone, as it marks the beginning of a new era in the Carmageddon story.
We should note that Kickstarter Backers will be able to get behind the wheel two weeks before the Steam Early Access release.
Patrick Buckland, co-founder and CEO of Stainless Games and creative genius behind Carmageddon, said:
“It’s brilliant to see our demonic baby rise screaming from the grave. This time we could finally do the stuff that we wanted to do 17 years ago. More blood was the main thing. Rivers of livers – that’s what we wanted. Being publisher as well as developer means we get to be stupid. Properly, professionally stupid. And this game is stupider than Jupiter. I mean really silly – but in a good way. Nobody else makes games that make you cry with laughter – but we do. And did I mention the livers?”
Neil ‘Nobby’ Barnden, co-founder, Brand Director and “the other one” behind the original Carmageddon, added:
“Blood and laughs. Amazing pile-ups. Awesome PowerUps. Insane… Insanity. The team is fantastic, the love we have for the title shines through, and even though the game is still pre-alpha it’s a bloody hoot to play!”
Stainless has also released a new video for Carmageddon: Reincarnation, showcasing the game’s damage tech.
Enjoy!

Awesome:D Seems pretty random can’t wait to see more. And the fact that it is not “shining like hell”, leads to the assumpltioin, that it is not going to be a ripoff, like some recent games… It is created by dedicated people after all, so I doubt they aim for the maximum amount of money with the minimum amount of work…
PC platform becomes a one giant test playground. Early access is everywhere. It was confirmed that they will release this game on PS4 and Xbone, but of course first they need to test it.
Dirty console peasant doesn’t want to test anything, but a good PC gamer will always willing to pay them 60$ for buggy alpha/beta and help them with the development.
and then wen they make a lot of money they forget about pc and release they’re next game only on console
Im not so sure these guys are really like that? Although I agree with you in general, I got 2 copies of this for $30 back when it was on Kickstarter. They launched with small intentions of just re-doing the game but found plenty of success and looks like they should deliver on their Kickstarter promises.
Of course, the “anticipated delivery” was Feb of 2013 so they just missed that date 🙂
Well said Niles. Dont they have their own beta testers anymore or have they fired them all and replaced them with PC gamers?
The most interesting thing about all of this is that Stainless Games already got their money for the console release. Someone rich invested $3.5 million (on top of $600,00 from Kickstarter) to make it happen.
And yet the game is still not ready, they need more money, and they even want us to test it.
So to keep it short and sweet IF they have started to treat PC gamers as Alpha/Beta/Guinea pig/Early access testers, perhaps we should start to false feed the bastards and lets see how long this immoral practice keeps up ?
It seems like most of the PC gamers actually like it. Even after Dean Hall collected the green stuff and packed his bags back to New Zealand, they’re still buying Dayz as if nothing happened.
More like sounds like it, empty pans makes the most noise as usual. While we are naturally thrilled that so many has switched to PC after the last console update. Some of them unfortunately needs to be reminded that they are in PC land now and that their console online behavior is not accepted here.
physic is not on par with like next car game or beangg but hope it will be fun too play I want it to be pure Armageddon I wana see building get destroyed car get smashed real hard not like they showed in that video
