ModNation Racers dated

Sony’s PS3 exclusive ModNation Racers has been given a firm release date of May 25th in the US.

And the European PlayStation blog has added that – while not set in stone – an arrival in the UK is expected in the same week, meaning a May 28th release is likely.

The game’s boxart has also been revealed and interestingly includes character designs sourced from the European beta.

The game is best described as an amalgamation of LittleBigPlanet and Mario Kart, with its accessible racing mechanic combined with a breadth of customisation options.
