EA appears to be leaving the announcement of this year's Need for Speed title incredibly late as a new report from Tom Henderson at Insider Gaming says the next entry will release on 2nd December 2022. An official reveal will reportedly take place "within the next two weeks", and the game will be called Need for Speed Unbound.
Featuring rapper A$AP Rocky on the soundtrack, Henderson even leaks the length of the announcement trailer: two to three minutes, apparently. It's also reported "Need for Speed Unbound will feature unique maps that are completely unique to the Need for Speed franchise". Well, yeah. You'd hope so, wouldn't you? This is a new game after all.
Previous rumours have pegged the next Need for Speed game as one that focuses heavily on multiplayer and will have some "anime elements", like flames shooting out of your car as you drift. It's also apparently skipping PS4 for a current-gen only release. If the report proves to be true, then Need for Speed Unbound is just around the corner.

Getting a bit concerned about this game. Very late trailer and promoting the game with 'unique tracks' which last I checked most racers have (outside of simulation racers). EA have actually been showing off some good games lately but this seems like a rush job, hopefully the trailer will prove otherwise
Focusing on multiplayer and anime style art, this franchise is been set up to die it seems,
new nfs, normally a blast, if a bit silly.
sees multiplayer... reads as MTX. ruined.
REMASTER UNDERGROUND 2 YOU COWARDS!
"Featuring Rapper ASAP Rocky" means to me that I'll be muting the game soundtrack and playing my own music just like I had to do with NFS Heat's abysmal soundtrack as well.
@GamesVanDerBeek Remake Underground 2 at this point!
I bet they donβt have the licensing for the music & thatβs why we never got it.
OG Most Wanted would be great too, but I have no interest in an multilayer focused NFS.
They should forget about nfs and bring back burnout.
I'm interested purely based on the fact that it's a next gen exclusive as there simply aren't enough of them.
Makes my blood boil every time I read the words "coming to PS5 and PS4"
PS5 is almost 2 years old now so time to let the PS4 die gracefully
You had me at skipping last Gen! ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»
@member_the_game will be another 12mnth+ till most become ps5 only.
@stvevan
Sadly you are probably correct (and that probably best case scenario)
Can I get the anime elements without the shallow racing game, please?
"some "anime elements", like flames shooting out of your car as you drift"
Sounds like a boardroom full of suits pretending to be hip and down with the kids again, who in their right mind thinks anime when seeing that?
I liked Heat, I just didn't love it. Make something like Most Wanted 2010 and it's going to be a winner
In an era where everything leaks... how did this remain secret?
@Americansamurai1 The fact EA killed the better, more consistent arcade racer to promote a dying IP always baffled me.
If they were smart they'd stagger their releases almost the way Forza switches between Horizon and it's mainline titles.
Bloody hell, NFS has been destroyed and this game sounds like itβs being buried further.
That rapper would get turned off ASAP.
@MFTWrecks at least give us a remastered of 3 and revenge.
For the love of all that is holy! Just give us a burnout 2 remake! Pure arcade racing with 4k 60fps crashes, dualsense support and modern particle effects. Why is EA so reluctant to acknowledge the Burnout series? They're just leaving money on the table at this point.
Would it really hurt them to take at least a one game break from NFS? After this game if they made a new Burnout or remake a old one and then made the next NFS would that really destroy morale in the studio and force EA into bankruptcy?
Not been interested in this series since NFS Underground 2.. if itβs anything like 2 I will be happy to check it out.. otherwise, Iβll save my money for literally anything else
This sounds terrible to me π
@GamesVanDerBeek & most wanted (2005) , wouldn't mind a pro street remaster either
I just want this to have proper steering wheel support from day 1 which includes H shifter also
@Americansamurai1. Burnout Revenge in particular. That game was phenomenal
@Msw7089 great soundtrack and loved checking traffic.
@Americansamurai1 true. I still have a working fat ps2 and Revenge gets plenty of playing time even all these years later. Awesome game
Another game that will be mercilessly hated for being new instead of a remaster/remake.
