Need for Speed Unbound is the new part of the NFS franchise. The latest trailer shows a unique art style and a big name from the music and fashion world.
Electronic Arts has now released the official trailer for the next part of Need for Speed. The trailer for Need for Speed Unbound shows an interesting art style for the characters. But also known names from the music and fashion industry can be found.
After EA decided to give the development back to Criterion Games, many are expecting a lot. Before the official trailer, some details about the game have already leaked and the new style is not really surprising. For all fans of the series, it is worth marking December 2, 2022 in red, because that is when the release is.
Setting of Need for Speed Unbound
The game is set in the fictional city of Lakeshore City. The player's goal is to win the city's biggest and most important street race. This is simply called The Grand and everything in the racing scene revolves around it.
Graphic style of Need for Speed Unbound
One of the most striking new features on the graphics side is the anime style of the characters and certain actions of the vehicles. For example, burnouts and jumps are characterized by colorful anime effects.
This certainly won't please everyone, but it's at least something new.
A$AP Rocky in Need for Speed Unbound
The trailer features the well-known US rapper A$AP Rocky. We don't yet know whether he'll just have a minor role or maybe even be a racing opponent.
Need for Speed Unbound Gameplay
The official Need for Speed website has some first information on the game. For example, it is stated that the player can not only bet on the races themselves, but also on the races. The winnings can be used to buy cars, upgrades, driving effects, customization of the player avatar and more.
Also licensed clothing and shoes will be purchased in the game. In a tweet, fashion designer Marine Serre and shoe brand Vans are mentioned.
No More Last-Gen Consoles
Currently, everything points to the fact that Need for Speed Unbound will no longer be released for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The previously leaked material only showed versions for the Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation5, and PC at a suggested retail price of $70.
Need for Speed Unbound Pre-order Bonuses
The leaks also contained information on the pre-order bonuses. Pre-order customers are said to receive $150,000 in-game currency, exclusive driving effects, stickers, license plates, and banners.
In addition to the standard edition, there will also be an 80 dollar Need for Speed Palace Edition. This edition was created in partnership with Palace Skateboards and is said to include exclusive content and early access to the game. Early access is also available to EA Play members.
Need for Speed Unbound will be released on December 2, 2022 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X.
