Looks like the holiday game buying season just got a little more crowded. Today, Electronic Arts and Black Box have announced Need for Speed: The Run. The Run will take players on a story-centric thrill ride as players are entangled in an illegal race from San Francisco to New York City. The Run will feature Autolog and will also be using the brand new engine being developed for Battlefield 3 called Frostbite 2, adding a whole new dimension to the Need for Speed franchise.
From the press release:
“This is the year that Need for Speed goes to the next level,” said Jason DeLong, Executive Producer at EA. “We think that Need for Speed The Run is going to surprise people with its intense, thrilling story and big action feel. But the game would be nothing without hot cars and crazy-fast chases. So that is what we’re delivering -- explosive racing that will have players flirting with disaster at 200-miles an hour.”
Need for Speed: The Run will be debuting on Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, 3DS, and PC on November 15 in North America, November 17 in Europe, and November 18 in the UK.
