Need for Speed Heat is an upcoming racing video game developed by Ghost Games and published by Electronic Arts for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It is the twenty-fourth installment in the Need for Speed series and will commemorate the series' 25th anniversary. The game was revealed with a trailer released on August 14, 2019,[1] followed-up by a gameplay trailer released on August 20, 2019.[2] It is scheduled to be released on November 8, 2019.[3][4][5][6][7][8]

Gameplay

Need for Speed Heat is a racing game set in an open world environment called Palm City, a fictionalized version of the city of Miami, Florida and its surrounding area. The in-game map features diverse geography, including mountainous areas and open fields.[9] Unlike Need for Speed Payback, the game does not include a 24-hour day-night cycle, but players can switch between day and night. During the day, players can take part in sanctioned race events, which reward players with cash to spend on new cars and upgrades. They can also take part in illegal street races at night, which would earn players rep. The more rep player earns, the more aggressive the police will be during the night. Players must escape the cops and get back to their safehouse, before they are getting busted, or the car is wrecked. The game also features a storyline in which the players interact with the city’s police force, led by authority figure Lt. Mercer.[10][11][12]

The game will feature 127 cars from 33 manufacturers, with Ferrari returning to the game after being absent from Payback due to licensing issues.[13] Unlike Payback, performance upgrades no longer come in random Speedcards and are unlocked by rep and winning races. The game will not feature loot boxes; however, time savers, which will reveal collectables on the map and paid downloadable content will be included.[14]

On August 19, 2019, Electronic Arts released the NFS Heat Studio app for iOS and Android devices. Users can collect and customize their cars which can be imported into the main game upon release.[15][16]
