In not so shocking news, EA has announced that a new Need for Speed game will be coming later this year. Need for Speed Rivals will offer "adrenaline and intensity of the street's ultimate rivalry between cops and racers, in a stunning open road environment." The game will be using the Frostbite 3 engine and is being developed by new EA studio Ghost Games. Racing veterans Criterion Games (Burnout Paradise, Need for Speed Most Wanted 2012) will also be lending their hand in development. Expect to find the game in stores on November 19 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. The game will also make its next-generation debut on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 sometime later this year.
NFS Rivals will pit players as either a cop or a racer, with each side offering a "set of high stakes challenges, rewards, and consequences." For the first time in seven years, the Ferrari will make a return to the Need for Speed franchise.
"The more cops players evade, the more Speedpoints they collect, enabling them to unlock new cars and items. Keep raising the stakes race after race, earning more and more Speedpoints along the way and becoming a more valuable target to the cops – but risk losing it all if busted. As a cop, players work together as part of a team in pursuit of racers, earning prominence and rising in the ranks of the Police Force with every bust. Achieving higher ranks unlocks new police only cars and more powerful pursuit tech."
NFS Rivals will introduce a new drop-in/drop-out multiplayer features with AllDrive. The new system "allows gamers to seamlessly transition from playing alone, to playing with friends, destroying the line between single player and multiplayer." It will allow players to go in or out of races on the fly.
"The Need for Speed franchise has been an industry leader bringing social competition to the forefront in games," said Marcus Nilsson, Executive Producer of Ghosts Games. "For the first time, players will have the freedom to seamlessly go from single player to co-op to multiplayer. In Need for Speed Rivals we are creating one game experience with one progression, where the freedom to play with friends is more fluid and accessible than ever before."
The game will feature:
• Next-Gen Racing – Redview County is brought to life with stunning, next-generation detail
• Need for Speed Network Powered by Autolog – Gamers can compare stats and challenge their friends anytime, anywhere and then easily share their accomplishments with both friends and rivals.
• Personalization – Drivers customize their ride with fresh paintjobs, custom license plates, liveries decals and rims, as well as performance upgrades.
• Pursuit and Evasion Tech – White-knuckle racing explodes with 11 upgradeable gadgets including turbo boosts, jammers and EMPs for racers, and shockwaves, roadblocks and helicopters for cops.
