Split SecondHot off the heels of Split/Second Velocity’s launch on the PlayStation 3 last month, today Disney announced the game is going portable later this year.

After Black Rock’s success with the PS3 version, which included amazing graphics, superb destruction and likewise gameplay, and a nice but small collection of tracks and a lot of cars, the PSP version inevitably won’t be the same but could be good in its own way.

Portable racing games on the PSP don’t come around that often, and there really aren’t many good ones either. Gran Turismo, Need for Speed Shift and MotorStorm Arctic Edge are the only ones to consider getting. Split/Second Velocity, if pulled off in a good way, will add to that list and then some, and should offer a unique experience for the platform that has been lacking recently.

The development team is yet to be announced. Watch this space.
