Disney has this morning taken the official wraps off the new game developed by its UK studio Black Rock, calling Split/Second the ‘holy grail’ of new IP – and telling MCV's sister magazine Develop that it thinks the title will revitalise the racing genre.

The Brighton-made game is set in a TV show, and invites players to not just race against opponents through settings inspired by television and film car chases but take out opponents by triggering explosions and environmental effects. The game is due for release early next year on PC, PS3 and 360.
