As spotted by Gematsu, Japanese retailer Neowing put a listing up for the game, showing four tiny images of the racer as well as its box art. It’s only listed for PlayStation 5, backing up reports that it’s a current-gen exclusive like EA’s remake and. It also has Criterion Games as the developer, a team known for 2012’s , which EA had previously confirmed.

The description speaks of letting players outsmart the police, race to qualify for its “ultimate street racing challenge,” and customize a garage full of fancy vehicles.
