Ghost Games™, an Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:EA) studio, is bringing
together 20 years of history and inspiration from some of the most
beloved games in the venerable franchise, to create the definitive Need
for Speed™ experience.
The new Need for Speed introduces compelling and innovative
gameplay through Five Ways to Play – Speed, Style, Build, Crew, and
Outlaw. Each drives your Need for Speed game through an
interconnected narrative. Built around five real world automotive icons,
each of whom is a hero of today’s car culture, they will inspire the
player to experience all Five Ways to Play. Earn their respect and build
your reputation on your journey to become the ultimate icon.
Action-packed overlapping stories, rich with distraction based gameplay,
ensure variety and personal preference. Carve your own path through
Ventura Bay by playing different event types and propel your progression
by ultimately winning your way.
Speed – Pedal to the metal, high speeds, maximum adrenaline rush.
Keep your nerve and never lift off the gas, the fearless always push the
limits.
Style – Expression through driving, sliding the car into a corner
sideways with ultimate precision. For some, style is all that matters.
Build – Take your car to the extreme through visual and
performance modification. The constant need to improve and personalize.
Craftsmen build, searching for perfection.
Crew – Ride together with your Crew and never hit the streets
alone. Put your faith in others and the skill of close proximity chaos.
Outlaw – Messing with and escaping from the cops. Push the limits
and live life on the edge as you crave the thrill of the chase.
“We’re bringing in Five Ways to Play to ensure that your gameplay
experience is all your own and helps propel your progression every
second, every minute,” said Marcus Nilsson, Executive Producer at Ghost
Games. “We want everyone to experience that perfect Need for Speed
moment - driving insanely fast, sliding through a corner in your
customized ride alongside your friends, whilst being chased by the cops.”
Coming November 3, 2015 in North America, Need for Speed delivers
rich, authentic customization and delivers on one of the most requested
feature by fans. Working with Speedhunters, the game will deliver
hand-picked iconic cars, the hottest authentic after-market brands,

form of self-expression on the road as you set up your ride as you hit
the streets.
