Disney Unveils Split/Second News

Heavily rumoured since a teaser video appeared earlier in the year, Disney Interactive today took the lid of Black Rock Studios latest racer, Split/Second.

As previously expected, Split/Second features an emphasis on destruction and damage.  Set within the world of a hyper-competitive reality TV show, drivers compete to be the first across the finishing line in a made-for-TV city, triggering explosive events that can drastically later the outcome and dynamics of the race.

"Split/Second elevates action racing to a new level by enabling players to strategically take out their opponents by dynamically altering the course in real time," said Craig Relyea, senior vice president of global marketing, Disney Interactive Studios.  "Split/Second further showcases Black Rock Studio's ability to innovate and deliver a compelling experience that has wide appeal beyond the traditional racing genre."

"We're creating huge memorable moments on par with the biggest blockbuster action films," said Nick Baynes, game director, Black Rock Studio.  "Action racing has captured the imagination of video game fans worldwide and we're going to redefine that experience with Split/Second."
