A listing on the Switch eShop shows a new title from QubicGames. The studio will soon be bringing Mad Carnage to the console.

According to the listing, Mad Carnage is a strategy title in which you can control cars, “each with their own unique weapons and gameplay mechanics.” The game has a single-player campaign with 20 levels, local multiplayer with eight maps, and more.
