Need for Speed Unbound releases in under two months, with the game's marketing picking up quite a bit to prepare it for release, and its latest gameplay teaser shows a few elements players can expect of it. Thus far, Need for Speed Unbound has shown off its flashy cosmetic effects, its core racing gameplay, and its full car list.
There are still a lot of questions regarding story, multiplayer elements, and more, with Need for Speed Unbound developer Criterion Games likely highlighting all of these in the future. For now, it's sticking with smaller teasers.
The latest shows how police pursuits work in Need for Speed Unbound. It's not immediately clear if it's available in the overworld or just in races, but it shows police pursuing the player. The game tells the player how many police they have and they each have notable health bars. It's a little hard to see with all the visual clutter that Need for Speed Unbound seemingly has, but they are there. The other big thing is that players are able to race on bets for money. It doesn't make it clear if players can be pink slips or not, but many in the comments were hoping so.
Many in the comments were comparing the graphics and gameplay of Need for Speed Unbound to NFS (2015) or Heat. It's unclear yet how this new game innovates on those older titles, if at all, outside the visuals, but it will be interesting to see how Need for Speed Unbound's marketing continues from here into launch.
Need for Speed Unbound releases December 2 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X.
