Gameplay and Trailer

The latest instalment in the Need For Speed franchise is called Unbound and is being developed by Criterion Games. It is the same studio behind some of the hits from this franchise such as NFS: Heat, Hot Pursuit Remastered, and Most Wanted.

This new title will mark an epic return of the Need for Speed franchise to its roots, the thrills of illegal street racing. This game will mostly focus on the single-player campaign and plotline, with the gameplay style being very similar to Most Wanted (2005) and Hot Pursuit (2010). The developers remarked that the previous NFS games had inspired the cop chase sequences. The game will also feature a cel-shaded animation style, bringing a fresh and new look to the series. 

As mentioned earlier, the game dives back into the franchise’s root plotline of illegal racing and puts the player in the shoes of a driver vying to win the grand street racing challenge in Lakeshore. Just like every other NFS game, Unbound will also feature several new cars and customisation options like vinyl, paint options, lights, body customisation, etc. Cars from companies like Acura, Aston Martin, Ferrari, BMW, Chevrolet, Ford, Honda, Lamborghini, Mazda, Nissan, McLaren, Lotus, Mercedes, Porsche, Lotus, Volkswagen, Subaru, Volvo, and others are supposed to feature. 

Furthermore, famous rapper A$AP Rocky will also be part of this game and bring along his custom black and white Mercedes 190E.
