Need for Speed Heat Announced

Fans of high-octane nitro-burning racing action, and players of the Need for Speed series, are going to have kittens over the latest in the franchise Need for Speed Heat. Developed by ghost game, Heat gives you more of everything that Need for Speed fans love, great customization, urban car culture, and an immersive narrative.

Need for Speed Heat sends players to Palm City, a totally new open-world where street racers have gathered to make their name. Race in the Speedhunters Showdown during the day to earn cash and car upgrades for high performance cars. During the night, it’s a different story.

Have you got what it takes to make the city your non-stop cash-making racetrack?
