EA reveals Need For Speed Unbound, coming in December

Electronic Arts has released the trailer for its long-rumored (and recently leaked) entry in the Need for Speed series. Need for Speed Unbound is set to release on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC later this year on December 2. Longtime developer Criterion Games also returns to the series following a ten-year absence.

The new game opts for an animated art style, as opposed to the photorealism of competitors like Forza Horizon 5. According to IGN, Criterion built the game on the Frostbite Engine, and it will run in 4K at 60 frames per second. It will feature a single-player campaign about street racing and reclaiming a stolen car, as well as an open world called Lakeshore City. It will also have online multiplayer with crossplay.
