EA’s new Need for Speed is a “full reboot”

4.6
Yesterday EA teased a new release for their stalwart race series Need for Speed. Today, we got the first trailer and details. Guesswork pointed towards a revival of the Underground games, and whilst that has yet to be confirmed, the new game will feature “authentic urban car culture”. Sounds a bit Underground-y

The new Need for Speed game is in development at Ghost Games, who made the previous NFS game Rivals. It’s described as a “full reboot” with “deep customization, authentic urban car culture, a nocturnal open world, and an immersive narrative.”


“Pulling on our 20 years of history, and then taking a year out from releasing a game, we are making the game we’ve always wanted to. We’re listening to the fans and delivering an experience that will capture their imagination and unleash their passion for cars and speed.”

The game will be built upon the same version of the Frostbite engine being used for Star Wars Battlefront.

XGN_Jr This should be a quite good game... Although its EA... Anything could happen


haha yes !! ea has been slacking lately !!


I too agree because of FIFA but when it comes to racing games, EA does a pretty good job. Also, I just know they are going to make us buy vehicles and/or performance parts since EA are a money grabbing company.

Its about time they release a car racing game with customizable options. Dont get me wrong forza motorsports and horizon are pretty good game but i have always loved a car game where we can fix bumpers, tires, wheels, designs and much more. The last game car racing game i actually lived was NFS Carbon. There were alot of features on that game. Cant wait for this game.

Quite a nice little tease considering Underground was one of the better NFSgames.
Knowing what EA is like though, the trailer will show something amazing but we will be really let down by the game when it is released.

NFS Underground was the best one IMO.
