Jordan Golson of MacRumors writes,

Firemonkeys, the new combined studio from EA combining the IronMonkey and Firemint gaming studios, has announced the development of Real Racing 3 for iPhone and iPad.

Real Racing 3 will be the first game in the franchise to have real racecourses and will allow 22 cars to race simultaneously. No system requirements have been released yet.

Announced on Twitter and shown off on the Real Racing Facebook page, Real Racing 3 almost looks like it could be a current gen console game. And that says a lot, especially when there’s a disclaimer noting that it’s pre-alpha footage. Real Racing has always excited fans by pushing the limits on iOS and by making good use of AirPlay on the Apple TV by allowing players to use their iOS devices as controllers while the race takes place on the big screen. Not to disappoint, catch the trailer on Facebook and look forward to Real Racing’s 3rd installment later this year.
