Need for Speed Unbound official with first trailer and release date revealed
(Pocket-lint) — Electronic Arts has officially announced the next game in the Need for Speed series, confirming that it will be available for current-gen consoles and PC only from 2 December 2022.
As previously leaked, it is called Need for Speed Unbound and features a stylistic departure from the last few games in the franchise.
It sees Criterion return to the series after more than a decade, and it seems to return somewhat to the game's roots with a single-player campaign set in the world of illegal street racing.
The art style is based on street grafitti and it looks like there will be elements of Criterion's last full Need for Speed title, Hot Pursuit, with cop chases once again being key to gameplay. You play a racer who's attempting to win The Grand — a street racing challenge set in the city of Lakeshore — but there will be plenty of obstacles along the way.

The visual experience of Unbound redefines expectation, with a new signature art-style that brings graffiti to life, intensifies the competition, and creates adrenaline-inducing, high-speed action.»
US rapper A$AP Rocky will appear in the game.
Need for Speed Unbound will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC, with pre-orders starting on 29
