We still don't know when the next installment of Need for Speed is coming out. However, new reliable rumors about what the game will offer have appeared in the web.
NFS 2022 - cartoonish visual elements and Autolog
The source of these reports is usually a very well informed journalist Jeff Grubb from Venture Beat. He revealed the new information in a recent episode of the GrubbSnax podcast.
- The game is expected to feature an unusual visual style, combining realistic views with cartoonish elements.
- According to Grubb, most of the gam will be photorealistic, but these views will be overlaid with animated elements, such as cartoonish exhaust flames. In this regard, the devs were inspired by sports car commercials, among other things.
- Autolog will return to the game, which is a social network, making the multiplayer mode more attractive. Players will also be able to modify most elements of the cars.
- The action of NFS 2022 will be set in Lake Shore City, a fictional version of Chicago.
- The developers want the metropolis to give the impression of a vibrant place, and not just a static background for racing.
According to earlier reports, the new NFS is to be released this year pn PC, Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5.
The project is being worked on by studio Criterion, known from the Burnout series. Ghost, the team responsible for the four previous installments of the series, is currently undergoing restructuring, but some of its employees are said to have been delegated to help with the new Need for Speed.
