Carmageddon Vets, Wizards of the Coast Team Up

Independent developer Stainless Games and tabletop game maker Wizards of the Coast are working together on a new downloadable game, the two companies have announced. Stainless is best known to the gaming public as the studio behind the long-dormant vehicular murder series Carmageddon, which is owned by SCi Games.

Few details are known of the new project, though Stainless CEO Patrick Buckland claims it involves "one of the most treasured IPs in the games field" and promises "a real gaming revolution." Notable properties held by Wizards of the Coast include Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons.

No platform was specified, though Stainless Games' recent efforts--which includes released Xbox Live Arcade titles Novadrome and Asteroids/Asteroids Deluxe along with the upcoming Happy Tree Friends False Alarm--imply XBLA is a likely destination for the untitled game.

According to its website, Stainless Games has the licenses to develop for PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, and PSP.
