News: EA and Ghost Games are currently developing Need for Speed which is a reboot for the franchise and will be available later this year.

Need for Speed is returning this year and EA has just released a new teaser trailer for it. The title of the game is “Need for Speed” as this is a full reboot for the franchise. EA says that the game delivers on what the fans want, and what Need for Speed stands for - deep customization, authentic urban car culture, a nocturnal open world and an immersive narrative that pulls you through the game.

“Need for Speed is one of the most iconic names in gaming, and we’re returning it to greatness in this reboot,” said Marcus Nilsson, Executive Producer at Ghost Games. “Pulling on our 20 years of history, and then taking a year out from releasing a game, we are making the game we’ve always wanted to. We’re listening to the fans and delivering an experience that will capture their imagination and unleash their passion for cars and speed.”

Fuelled by EA's own car culture community, Speedhunters, Need for Speed will deliver an experience that's grounded in authentic car culture by diving into the rich world of past, present and emergent trends of the urban car scene. This collaboration with Speedhunters in the research and development of the game means the level of detail and real-world authenticity will envelop gamers in an exciting world to discover and enjoy in a way that only Need for Speed can deliver.

Need for Speed is slated to be released on Xbox One, PS4 and PC later this Fall. Check out the teaser trailer below and tell us what you think. Are you excited for the return of Need for Speed?
