EA: New Need for Speed gets October 30th date

UK developer Criterion has unveiled the next iteration in the Need for Speed series.

The firm, which gave a shout out to the Queen during EA’s E3 press conference, is remaining the fan-favourite ‘Most Wanted’ video game. It launches on October 30th.

In the game players will be able to drive anyway in a bid to become No.1 in the ‘most wanted’ list.

Criterion is shaking up the franchise with Need for Speed Most Wanted,” said Matt Webster, Executive Producer at Criterion Games.

This is Most Wanted for a new generation of players. We’ve brought everything we know about racing, chasing and exploration and smashed them together in a highly connected open world automotive experience. Whether driving solo or racing with friends in our amazing new multiplayer experience, Autolog fires up competition out of everything as players compete to be most wanted amongst their friends.”

The game launches on PC, PS3, Xbox 360, iOS, Android and PlayStation Vita.
