Need for Speed Heat revealed

Ghost Games has officially unveiled the new Need for Speed game, called Need for Speed Heat. The next instalment in EA's racing game franchise will set in the fictional Palm City, and will include cops, deep customization options as well as a fascinating narrative.

"Need for Speed Heat sends fans to Palm City, a brand-new open world where street racers have gathered to make their names known. By day, players compete in the Speedhunters Showdown, a sanctioned competition where they earn Bank to customize and upgrade their garage of high-performance cars. At night, players risk it all to build their Rep in underground races where a rogue police task force roams the streets, ready to take racers down and swipe all their earnings. The roads, the risks, and the rides never end in this street racer where a player can roll deep with their crew, build their garage full of hot cars, and make the city their nonstop playground," says the official blurb.

EA promises to show off the first gameplay footage at Gamescom Opening Night Live. Need for Speed Heat is scheduled to be released on November 8 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. For Origin Access subscribers it will be available three days earlier, on November 5.
