Need for Speed: Unbound: Allegedly first gameplay scenes appeared & postponed to December

The release of EA’s latest Need for Speed ​​game has reportedly been delayed by a month. We also get to see fresh footage.

Of course, this is also the case for the short recording that Reddit found on the internet is by no means official material. Nevertheless, the mix of realistic graphics and anime-like style elements, which can be seen briefly, looks promising at first glance.

New Need for Speed: Moved from November to December

If you believe the words of industry insider Jeff Grubb, who in a live stream about the new Need for Speed spoke, the release of Electronic Art’s next racing game part will be postponed from November to December. However, there is no official release date for the game developed by Criterion, which suggests internal difficulties with the postponement. The only thing that has been around for a long time is that we can prepare for a new part at the end of 2022.

“They pushed it back a month to December,” Grubb confirms during the podcast, which was streamed to Twitch. “They’re going to give it a few more weeks before showing it. It seems that Criterion got a little distracted working on Battlefield and it had a ripple effect that caused this delay,” Grubb continues.

New gameplay footage shows early development version

As for the newly surfaced gameplay clip of the new Need for Speeds, most likely the footage is from a preliminary version of the game. These show a fancy car attempting to jump through a circular obstacle before crashing into the ring.

The animated elements that are reminiscent of arcade games or anime fights are particularly striking. This coincides with the rumors already in various To report made the rounds about the new graphic style of the title. Already in April proclaimed Grubb, the new Need for Speed ​​would only reach the two next-gen consoles from Microsoft and Sony.
