Namco Bandai’s announced that Ridge Racer Unbounded is due for a release in 2012. It’s touted as a revival for the long-running franchise, and aims to “shake up” its associated genre. Unbounded mixes destruction with traditional arcade racing gameplay.

“Players will careen through the competition using their four-wheeled street-racing thoroughbreds as high-octane wrecking machines with a new mantra – Drive, Destroy, Dominate,” reads the announcement.

Bugbear Entertainment is handling development duties. Take a glimpse at the debut trailer above.
