Need for Speed Unbound will smash its way through to a global release on December 2. Meanwhile, owners of the Palace Edition can already play the game via Early Access.
Unbound is a much-awaited return to form for the Need for Speed series, taking the franchise back to its underground street-racing roots. High-stakes police chases and bright neon lights return with stylized cel-shaded graffiti art as players race around in the fictional Lakeshore City.
Like the previous titles, Unbound features plenty of customisation and unlockables for the community to obtain. It is designed as a next-gen-exclusive title for PC and home consoles.
