When the title officially drops, players will be able to enjoy a new narrative that will feature popular rapper A$AP Rocky as the leader of the Takeover Scene.

The new franchise entry will revolve around the themes of rebellion and overcoming dire odds, and both the graphics and the environments of the game will reflect the same themes. The title will feature cell-shaded character models, with very realistic car designs and environments.

Moreover, it will further expand the NFS Heat gameplay and will feature a similar heat system that encourages a high-risk, high-reward style of gameplay. Since Heat was considered to be one of the most successful launches of the series in recent years, Criterion will be sticking to some of its gameplay formulas for Unbound.
