The initial goal was $400,000 only, which has been shattered with 9 days to go. It remains to be seen how much the Kickstarter project manages to accumulate, but the developers of the sequel, Stainless, are pretty happy with the result.

“We MADE IT! Thanks to ALL OF YOU for the support and backing so far! As you’ll see, I don’t have the power of speech or typing completely down at the moment (some would say, most of the time…) as I’m STUNNED at the speed it’s happened this weekend!,” read the page.

A few days ago we had reported that a new Carmageddon might be in works. Fortunately those rumors were indeed correct. Stainless have re-acquired the Carmageddon brand from Square Enix and will be released as a downloadable game in 2012.

“Carmageddon has returned to its Indie developer roots, and the time is right to bring the game to a new audience,” said Patrick Buckland, Stainless co-founder and CEO.

“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.”

Stainless  co-founder Neil Barnden added: “Carmageddon: Reincarnation will feature the same black humour and comic violence that made the original game such a success. 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.”

So far no platforms have been announced but we will have it posted here when we have more updates on the same.
