Legendary racing series Micro Machines is set to return.

The manic multiplayer game will be released on Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC on April 21.

The new title will keep the iconic minature gameplay of the original, but provide stunning visual updates to the series.

Classic locations including gardens, kitchens and worktops will return in the new game.

Micro Machines will also feature new modes, include king of the hill and capture the flag, as well as battle arenas.

The game will also feature tie-ins from the likes of NERF and G.I Joe.

Jonathan Bunney, from developers Codemasters said: “The original Micro Machines was a breakthrough multiplayer racing game and remains much loved in the gaming community.

“We saw great success earlier this year with our free-to-play mobile game but this brand new console title takes the franchise to its greatest levels of multiplayer mayhem and enables you to play with your friends on the same sofa or across the world.”

Bunney continued: “Whether you’ve been playing Micro Machines since the early days or are new to the craziness of racing and battling vehicles across household environments, this incredibly fun experience is a welcome break from all the serious multiplayer alternatives.

“With the support of Hasbro and being able to feature some of their biggest brands, such as HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPOS, G.I. JOE, OUIJA and NERF, this represents the very best of social gaming.”
