Good news Need For Speed fans, A Need for Speed: Most Wanted Remake is due out next year.
Fans of the franchise will be delighted to hear that this title is the latest one to get a modern day upgrade. Now it should be mentioned that the Need for Speed: Most Wanted remake is the 2005 title, not the 2012 version which shares the same name. And it was confirmed (accidentally on purpose?) that the game was ahead of schedule with a release date of 2024.
Although Need for Speed: Most Wanted was released way back in 2005, it was already the ninth instalment of the franchise and it was both a commercial success and a ratings success with most reviewers praising it’s ‘outstanding sound effects’ and ‘sharp graphics. Indeed most reviewers gave the title at least 8/10.
For those who haven’t played any of the Need for Speed games, here’s a quick rundown of what to expect. The game is an open-world racing game where players take part in illegal racing challenges across the fictional city of Rockport many of which see you being pursued by local law enforcement. Career mode allows players to upgrade their vehicles through various performance enhancements and visuals, to suit all styles.
