Sony has just confirmed that ModNation Racers will be released on PS3 and PSP on the 25 May in North America. The company said that it hopes to release the United Front Games developed title during the same week in Europe.

“ModNation Racers is the first HD kart racing game, with the accessibility that you expect from a kart racing title, but with the physicality of a racing game,” Dan Sochan, producer of the PS3 version, told us last year.

“The key to this is we wanted to have a deep customisation tool, probably one of the deepest you’ve ever seen in a racing game, which really ties into the play, create and share genre.”
