News: And that's about the only thing about the game they announced.

Rockstar announced this morning that they are hard at work on Midnight Club: Los Angeles and that the game should be released in early 2008 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. As always, the game is being developed by Rockstar San Diego.

Rockstar was not ready to reveal anything else about the title, but everyone involved is very excited.

"Midnight Club's addictive blend of freedom, style and sheer sense of speed sets it apart from its competition," said Sam Houser, Founder and Executive Producer of Rockstar Games. "With Midnight Club: Los Angeles, Rockstar San Diego looks to once again push the boundaries and expectations of what a racing game can be. Rockstar San Diego has always been the technology leader in delivering the ultimate racing experience, and with this game, they are looking to re-define the idea of a completely immersive racing game experience, both offline and online."

"On prior consoles, the Midnight Club franchise continually raised the bar for racing games, evolving from being the first ever street racing game to setting the defining standard for credibly integrating street racing culture with an intense racing experience," said Jay Panek, Producer of the Midnight Club series. "With Midnight Club: Los Angeles, our goal is to evolve on all possible levels and stay true to the hardcore gaming experience the series is known for, while making it accessible to casual gamers and car enthusiasts."

We'll have more on Midnight Club: Los Angeles soon.
