Since the announcement of Need for Speed Unbound, news about the game hasn’t stopped rolling in. Last Tuesday, EA showed a sneak peek of the game’s art style and how graffiti comes to life in NFS. This distinct art style sets Unbound apart from other racers and other games in the Need for Speed series. However, we get our first look at Need for Speed Unbound‘s gameplay, and it’s all about risk and reward.
Need for Speed Unbound Gameplay Trailer
In the game’s latest trailer, the art style comes to life as racers drift around corners and hit big air jumps. Drivers can put their money on the line as they try to outdrive the cops and place bets against rivals before races. Everything in Need for Speed Unbound is about earning cash, entering weekly qualifiers, and participating in The Grand, Lakeshore’s biggest racing competition.
In addition to the gameplay trailer, news broke that Need for Speed Unbound will utilize the power of the current-gen consoles by running at 4K and 60 frames per second. This will be the first time in the series’ history that the game will reach 4K resolution.
Newest features
In case you missed the initial announcement of Need for Speed Unbound, here is a list of features coming to the game:
- The World is Each Player’s Canvas: Graffiti comes to life in a new art style as players ride through the city equipped with a brand-new toolkit of high-energy visual and sound effects, like Burst Nitrous, which rewards players with style-based boost, reflecting how they drive.
- Run the Streets: The more players race, the more heat they build up. Choose to outdrive or outsmart cops using new escape mechanics to take control of the chase to earn big rewards.
- Self-Expression and Style: Hundreds of cosmetic items including exclusively licensed gear from some of the world’s pioneering fashion innovators and custom automotive gear companies give players endless options to not only kit out their car but show off their personal style in-game.
- Find Freedom in the Flow: Ride to a genre-defying soundtrack of trailblazing artists from the world of hip-hop led by multi-hyphenated artist, entrepreneur, actor, and fashion icon A$AP Rocky and his creative agency AWGE, including the world premiere of A$AP Rocky’s brand new track “Sh*ttin’ Me,” also featured in the reveal trailer.
- Takeover Scene featuring A$AP Rocky: A$AP Rocky will appear in-game as the leader of the Takeover Scene, a new replayable precision driving mode that brings together the community to take over parts of the city and celebrate driving with style over pure speed. AWGE also functioned as creative consultant on the game.
