The official Carmageddon website was home last month to a countdown that ended earlier today. The assumption was that it was leading to the reveal of a new game and, while there isn't anything to be shown just yet, it has been confirmed that a new Carmageddon is in the works.

Better yet, the website's launch brings word that the developer of the first two Carmageddon titles, Stainless Games, has reacquired the rights to the series. The new game, Carmageddon: Reincarnation, is early in pre-production and won't be out until next year when it will be released as a downloadable title. There's no publisher attached to the project as of yet; the press release notes Stainless "is actively seeking a partner with whom to move the project on to full production," something that it will hopefully be able to find without much trouble.

"Carmageddon has returned to its Indie developer roots, and the time is right to bring the game to a new audience," said Stainless CEO Patrick Buckland. "Originally an ambitious title that tested the hardware limits of its day, we're excited that the game will finally get the showcase it deserves on today's platforms."

It wasn't specified which systems the game will be out for. Stainless has released several titles on the Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, and PC in the past, and a graphic on the website uses the word multiplatform, so one would think it'll make it to all three platforms.

"Carmageddon: Reincarnation will feature the same black humour and comic violence that made the original game such a success," said executive director Neil Barnden. "All the laughs, the crazy power-ups, and extreme destruction will return. We will make sure the existing fans get what they want and expect from a Carmageddon game, and a new generation discovers the delights of sliding into a Cunning Stunt."

The new website is home to a history of the series and some behind-the-scenes content. There's no media to be seen from the new game as of yet. Instead, Stainless has put together the video above with a collection of clips from the old Carmageddon games in case you've forgotten what the series is all about or were never able to experience it in all its violent glory.
