Ghost Games today announced Need for Speed Payback, the new action driving blockbuster from one of the world’s bestselling video game franchises, hitting stores November 10th. In order to celebrate this reveal, Ghost Games released the first two screenshots and the debut trailer for this new Need for Speed game.
According to the press release, this will be an ‘explosive adventure filled with intense heist missions, high stakes car battles, epic cop pursuits and jaw dropping set pieces.’
Marcus Nilsson, Executive Producer, said:
“Need for Speed returns this year to challenge what players expect from racing games. We’re still delivering everything our fans love about the franchise – the deepest customization, an impressive roster of cars, intense races and open world pursuits – but with Need for Speed Payback, we’re bringing together all those elements in an all new blockbuster driving experience. From the story, to the different characters you can drive as, to the varied missions, to the edge-of-your-seat moments, this is our vision for what action driving entertainment means today.”
Set in the underworld of Fortune Valley, players will drive as three distinct characters reunited by a quest for vengeance against The House, a nefarious cartel that rules the city’s casinos, criminals and cops. They will take on a variety of challenges and events as Tyler, the Racer; Mac, the Showman; and Jess, the Wheelman to earn the respect of the underground.
Featuring the deepest customization from the series, players can craft a personalized and unique ride, or spend hours finding and tuning an abandoned derelict into a supercar. They can then push their cars to the limit and raise the stakes by betting on their own performance, where they can either multiply their winnings or risk losing it all.
Enjoy!

Need For Speed is back ?
Amazing Trailer?
Yep im in.
I’m glad that they are including a true single player mode. Looks pretty promising so far.
Still, remember: No preorders
Still remember: not your €
True, but supporting cancer helps no one.
Real cancer are companies that intentionally delay PC release to make fanboys buy it twice, once for console, and than a year later for PC.
There are many cancers.
There are many “CON”panies
My only concern is, will it run on frostbite? Cause the trailer seems lower quality than the engine itself, which is great lol
Looks like frostbite from the trailer actually.
seeing those fast furious influences
will it turn to be as bland and boring as the last one? we’ll see. Having a real and true singleplayer game is a good start.
Soo we are fast and furious now ? Cool 🙂
Of course, don’t you know how much money those ridiculously stupid movies have made?
COULDN’T POSSIBLY IGNORE THAT!
EA: “Challenged at everything”
Ooooh looks nice. A story mode similar to NFS: The Run. I’m totally digging this.
Always stick at what you are good at, even if is just plagiarizing yourself.
As in? NFS for the longest time has always been tapping into different themes but almost always kept the arcadey stuff intact.
And this theme is bollywood?
Lmao would be a hilarious and interesting take for the series honestly
They should just make a parady of F&F.
The 1st one then the 8 Fate of the Furious
Well, taking down an 30km-wide asteroid with a knife isn’t my style.
Tfff on bollywood exagerations..
Surprised. Now now let’s wait for the 60fps omgomg HDR,4K TRUE PC EXPERIENCE announcement….
I’d rather have that confirmed than another Rivals
True but it’s a problem that it’s not there from the beginning.
Maybe they learned.
surprised they don’t make the characters resembles vin diesel and the rock :-/
wtf is that crap?
Need for Speed
Huh. This game launches right at my birthday. Might be a sign…
Well I’ve kind of lost hope in NFS for quite some time. Maybe, just maybe this one will turn out good, because if it won’t, that I’ll be a $hitty birthday present.
Remind me to send you a nice bag of flaming turds for your birthday, since you like sh*t[ty] gifts so much ;D
Good news: trial starts before release, so people will be able to record, and talk about game’s vibe before release like with Andromeda.
All this needs is the right physics, wheel support, and the ability to work with sim experience. Give us the controls for all the betting, story driving and immersion for the game world to be just that!
Previous had while support, doubt it will have option for more realistic physics. Wouldn’t work well with other systems in the game such as cop rhinos.
B*tch, i have everything. E-VRY-THING. Well, not everything, but some things…. I only have a Sega Genisis.
At least the smart ones are smart enough not to fall for the con.
The rest……
Should just go die somewhere, already.
The characters sound like that from Fast and Furious movie franchise…and the locations and story seem similar…eh, not too original, but maybe it might still be decent…lets wait and see!
Horse feces.
