Need for Speed Unbound is a racing game set in a fictional city called Lakeshore City, which is based on Chicago. Like previous entries in the series it will feature an open world environment, and will feature gameplay similar to that of previous entries in the series, being mainly focused around street racing.[6][7] The "heat system" from Need for Speed Heat returns in Unbound, where the player attempts to gain notoriety among the police.[4] Additionally, the game will feature various forms of customization such as installing various body kits, adding a splitter, and even completely removing the front or rear bumpers referencing the fan-made PROJECT UNITE modifications for several of the previous titles. These features are new to the franchise.[8]
Development and release
In February 2020, it was announced that the development of future Need for Speed games would return to Criterion Games from Ghost Games, as the studio was referred back to EA Gothenburg.[9] Criterion Games previously worked on Hot Pursuit (2010) and Most Wanted (2012). The game was originally going to be scheduled to released in 2021 but was pushed back to 2022 as the team was temporarily reassigned to assist the development of Battlefield 2042.[10] In May 2022, EA announced that they had merged Codemasters Cheshire into Criterion Games, creating a larger team to work on the game.[11]
A few days prior to the reveal, fans noticed that EA had accidentally revealed the name of their upcoming Need for Speed title early on their website.[12] Additionally, fans also noticed that promotional images of the game had been released early on the Japanese retailer Neowing's website.[13] Unbound was formally revealed on October 6, 2022, in a trailer that showcased the game's "street art" art style, as well as featuring the rapper A$AP Rocky, who is set to have his own mode in the game as well as have some of his music featured along with AWGE.[14][15][16] EA has stated that the game will receive free post-launch updates.[17]
Unbound also received a special collaborative release with UK-based streetwear and lifestyle brand Palace. At an additional cost to the base game, NFS Unbound Palace Edition includes various branded bonuses, including four cars with Palace liveries and 20 items of Palace-branded clothing for the player's in-game character to wear.[18][non-primary source needed]
