Revision as of 22:07, 10 June 2017
Need for Speed: Payback is the upcoming twenty-third game in the Need for Speed series currently in development at Ghost Games and is set for worldwide release on November 10, 2017 by publisher Electronic Arts.
The name of the 2017 game was revealed on June 2, 2017 with a trailer showcasing the location, high-concept of the plot, and multiple vehicles that will appear in the game. A Deluxe Edition was also announced at the end of the trailer.
Numerous teasers were released leading up to the game's reveal on June 2, 2017 such as an initial reveal of the game's setting with an Under the Hood article and multiple tweeted images leading up to June 2nd.
An in depth look at the game will be shown at Electronic Arts' EA Play event in Hollywood, Los Angeles running from June 10 to June 12, 2017.
Plot
The single player campaign follows Tyler Morgan, a former street racer and exile looking for revenge. He's double crossed and must build a crew towards winning an impossible race whilst trying to bring down a cartel, The House, that has their presence across the city's casinos, criminals, and law enforcement.
Players take on the role of three characters across the single player campaign. Each has their own quests towards bringing down The House, which the player can take on the roles of;
- Tyler Morgan - A street racer.
- Mac - A showman.
- Jess - The wheelman for hire.
Gameplay
Taking place in the fictional Fortune Valley, players can purchase new cars or rebuild abandoned shells, and can customise their vehicles with aftermarket parts they either win or buy. They can use those rides to participate in races, missions, activities, and SpeedLists.
Split into two modes; single player and multiplayer, players earn rewards for driving with style and excessive speed. Offering a risk and reward design, earning rep goes towards rewards with long strings of driving maneuvers offering multipliers called Heaters. Challenges also offer opportunities to earn bank, but also raise the stakes in races.
The local police department will intervene through intense chases including Rhinos and helicopters.
Cars
Cars can be collected and be built towards one of five different car classes.

- Drag - A quarter-mile in under 10 seconds
- Runner - Stealth, dodging cops, and threading through traffic
Customisation
Customisation allows for any owned cars to be altered and personalised to a player's taste. Various visual aftermarket components and performance parts can be equipped to craft a unique vehicle.

Development
Initial Reveal | |||||
The 2017 game was first revealed to be in development on May 10, 2016 with the release of Under The Hood #7: Taking Stock[1] on the official Need for Speed website.
The special announcement highlighted the SpeedLists update would be the last free content update for Need for Speed (2015), and the community's feedback towards the 2015 game would be taken in towards the development of the 2017 game.

EA Play 2016 |
It was announced on January 27, 2016 that Electronic Arts would not be attending E3 2016 in favour of hosting their own EA Play conference[2]. On June 9, 2016, Electronic Arts' Global Content and Community Manager, Ben Walke, tweeted that no games in development at Ghost Games were set to be announced during the conference[3] |
Job Positions |
A Narrative Writer position was listed on the jobs section of Ghost Games' website for their studio in Guildford, England. The position listed a role encompassing character development, writing scripts for performance sessions, and would be beneficial to have a knowledge of car culture.[4] |
Need for Speed: Arena Trademark |
On November 7, 2016, a trademark for Need for Speed: Arena was published for ownership by Electronic Arts[5]. The trademark application was filed with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) with a 9 and 14 Nice classification, covering the usage of the term for a computer game software and an online entertainment service respectively.[6] |
EA Quarterly Earnings Call | |||||
Electronics Arts' quarterly earnings call for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 was held on January 31, 2017. During the call, a rundown of Electronic Arts' previous quarter was discussed, and hinted at the 23rd Need for Speed game.
The fiscal 2018 release target places the launch of Need for Speed (2017) between April 1, 2017 and March 31, 2018.[7] Andrew Wilson also mentioned that, according to Polygon, the game will be ambitious with a competitive online focus.[8] |
EA Play 2017 | |||||
On March 23, 2017, an official Electronic Arts blog post was published dating the availability of tickets for the show, and that Need for Speed will be playable for participants.
|
Under The Hood | ||||||||||||||||||||
A tease for Need for Speed (2017) was shown in an Under the Hood segment published on the official Need for Speed website on May 9, 2017. It was titled "Need for Speed 2017: Paying It Back"[10].
The post highlighted Ghost Games' continued passion for the Need for Speed series, and that they feel "honoured and privileged" to be developing the next game for the fans of the series, which will be released before the end of the 2017 calendar year.
In the opening section of the post, the article states that Ghost Games has been surprised by the amount of feedback received from the Need for Speed community following the release of Need for Speed (2015). Customisation is described as having a strong role within the game and beyond its release. Police are also noted to be pursuing racers during street races and the presence of Rhino units.
The environment in which the game will take place is depicted with a teaser image that was part of the article. It shows a Motel sign flickering near a red rock cliff with a setting sun casting through a clouded sky, and a Nissan 350Z parked against a chain link fence adjacent to a field of tall grass. Another sign below the flashing Motel sign has the date June 2nd written across it. June 2, 2017 is eight days ahead of Electronic Art's EA Play event in Los Angeles, which will feature Need for Speed (2017) playable on the show floor. Its setting is characterised as a beautiful location that offers space for both tarmac and offroad gameplay, with the option to take customised cars to events along a canyon setting or take jumps to avoid police attention.
The article ends by stating that the game will feature a single player experience that can be played offline and can also be paused.

Twitter Teases | |||||||||||||||
On May 30, 2017, the official Need for Speed Twitter account tweeted an image showing a bright white mist.
Adjusting the levels of the image reveals a few skyscrapers and a tower poking up from the base of the image. The buildings that appear in the image bear a resemblance to the Las Vegas skyline. On May 31, 2017, the official Need for Speed Twitter account tweeted a second image showing a car engulfed in a bright white mist.
Adjusting the levels of the image reveals the same few skyscrapers and a tower from the image tweeted a day prior, but positions them as a background to a modified Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec (R34) performing a donut in the foreground. On June 1, 2017, a third image was released including the previous two images of a city skyline and a Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec (R34) alongside the release time of the game's reveal.
The image highlighted the game's full reveal across multiple time zones at 06:00 in Los Angeles, USA; 14:00 in London, United Kingdom; and 23:00 in Sydney, Australia. It also included a link to the official Need for Speed Youtube channel. |
