Micro Machines returns with World Series

One of Codemasters' most fondly remembered series is returning, with Micro Machines World Series coming to Xbox One, PC and PS4 on April 21st.

The new game features familiar backdrops from the 1991 original, reimagined for the new hardware and complemented by new modes and a Battle Arena that comes complete with Capture the Flag and King of the Hill modes. Four player multiplayer will be supported on one system, while 12 players can compete online and there'll be 12 vehicles to play with.

Codemasters' last console Micro Machines was V4, which released on PS2, PSP, PC and Nintendo's DS in 2006, though it did return to the series last year for a free-to-play mobile take in partnership with EA.
