Disney Interactive Studios announced today that Split/Second will be released in North America on May 18 and in Europe on May 21.

The game is set within the world of a fictional reality TV show. Players race to the finish line as with any other racing game but they also trigger explosive events that alter the track to take out opponents or create short cuts.

The game will be available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows PC.
