STARTING FROM THE BOTTOM, ASPIRING TO THE SUMMIT
Need for Speed Unbound challenges the conventions of the racing genre and raises the stakes by introducing real consequences with risks and rewards of great impact for every race, decision and secondary bet made. Players discover the world of Lakeshore when a robbery at a family car store divides two friends and forces a novice driver on a journey to win the last road race and recover the priceless car that was stolen from him. Need for Speed Unbound offers:
  • The world is every player's canvas: Graffiti comes to life in a new art style as players traverse the city equipped with a brand new kit of high-energy visual and sound effects, such as Burst Nitrous, which rewards players with a style-based boost, which reflects their way of driving.
  • Running through the streets: The more players run, the more they accumulate heat. Choose to outwit the cops in speed or cunning by using new escape mechanics to take control of the chase and earn big rewards or even more serious consequences if you get arrested.
  • Personal Expression and Style: Hundreds of cosmetic items, including exclusive licensed items from some of the fashion pioneers and custom automotive accessory companies, offer players endless possibilities not only to equip their car, but also to show off their personal style in the game.
  • Find freedom in the flow: A soundtrack by cutting-edge artists from the hip-hop world, led by award-winning artist, entrepreneur, actor and fashion icon A$AP Rocky and his creative agency AWGE, which includes the world premiere of A$AP Rocky's newest track "Sh*ttin' Me", also featured in the reveal trailer.
  • Takeover Scene with A$AP Rocky: A$AP Rocky will appear in the game as the leader of the Takeover Scene, a new replayable precision driving mode that brings the community together to conquer parts of the city and celebrate driving in style over pure speed. AWGE also served as creative consultant for the game.
