"Need for Speed returns this year to challenge what players
expect from racing games," said Marcus Nilsson, Executive Producer.
"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 truly 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.
For players that pre-order the game, they will receive the Need for
Speed Payback Platinum Car Pack and get instant access to five
uniquely customized and tuned iconic cars at launch, each with
exclusive† Platinum Blue Tire Smoke. The Car Pack includes:
-
Nissan 350Z 2008
