Need For Speed Payback Announced

After teasing it a few weeks back, Electronic Arts and Ghost Games have announced Need for Speed Payback, coming to PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on November 10, check out the debut trailer below.



Set in the underworld of Fortune Valley, players will drive as three distinct characters reunited by a quest for vengeance against The House, a nefarious cartel that rules the city’s casinos, criminals and cops.

“Need for Speed returns this year to challenge what players expect from racing games,” said Marcus Nilsson, Executive Producer. “We’re still delivering everything our fans love about the franchise – the deepest customization, an impressive roster of cars, intense races and open world pursuits – but with Need for Speed Payback, we’re bringing together all those elements in an all new blockbuster driving experience. From the story, to the different characters you can drive as, to the varied missions, to the edge-of-your-seat moments, this is our vision for what action driving entertainment means today.”

Players will take on a variety of challenges and events as Tyler, the Racer; Mac, the Showman; and Jess, the Wheelman to earn the respect of the underground. Featuring the deepest customization from the series, players can truly craft a personalized and unique ride, or spend hours finding and tuning an abandoned derelict into a supercar. They can then push their cars to the limit and raise the stakes by betting on their own performance, where they can either multiply their winnings or risk losing it all. 

Players who pre-order the game will score access to the Platinum Car Pack, which includes:

• Nissan 350Z 2008
• Chevrolet Camaro SS 1967
• Dodge Charger R/T 1969
• Ford F-150 Raptor 2016
• Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport 2016

Each car is custom tuned and will all leave behind platinum blue smoke. 

In addition to that pre-order bonus, players can also opt in to purchase the Deluxe Edition of the game, which comes with three days of early access to the full game, along with exclusive customization items such as the Deluxe Edition license plate and NOS color, in-game discounts, Rep bonuses, everything the Platinum Car Pack has to offer, and more.

More details about the game will be announced at EA Play, which is about a week away, so stay tuned.
