Late last year, we showed you a trailer for Disney’s new racer, Split/Second. Originally slated for a Q1 release this year, it has been officially dated for May 18th. Look for a full review here when it does release.

Disney Interactive Studios announced today that Split/Second, the action racing game from Black Rock Studio, will be released in North America on Tuesday, May 18.  The European release date is May 21.  Set within the world of a fictional reality TV show, Split/Second players don’t just try to race to the finish line – they trigger explosive events that alter the track to take out opponents or create short cuts.
