Electronic Arts have announced the next chapter in the Need for Speed saga and it will launch on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on November 8, or November 5 if you have Origin Access. The title is being created by Ghost Games, the studio that has created the past three console games, so expect some of the core parts to come across, plus some new stuff.

Need for Speed Heat sends fans to Palm City, a brand-new open world where street racers have gathered to make their names known. By day, players compete in the Speedhunters Showdown, a sanctioned competition where they earn Bank to customize and upgrade their garage of high-performance cars. At night, players risk it all to build their Rep in underground races where a rogue police task force roams the streets, ready to take racers down and swipe all their earnings. The roads, the risks, and the rides never end in this street racer where a player can roll deep with their crew, build their garage full of hot cars, and make the city their nonstop playground.

“We’re delivering more options than ever before for players to be unique and make themselves known,” said Riley Cooper, Creative Director at Ghost Games. “Our fans have been clear that they want more cars, more customization, and more challenges, and we’re tuning up on every aspect. From your character’s style to your car’s performance and your driving style, we’re fuelling everyone’s creativity with this new game.”

A full gameplay reveal is expected at Gamescom next week, so only a little longer to wait, but what do you think, does the idea sound good?
