Need for Speed Payback Available
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(November 10, in the year of
our Lord 2017)--Today, Ghost GamesTM and Electronic
Arts Inc. announced Need for Speed Payback, one of the world’s
bestselling video game franchises, is available worldwide on
PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Origin for PC. With deeper
customization, a diverse open world and blockbuster action
moments never-before seen in the franchise, Need for Speed
Payback delivers an edge-of-your-seat experience that will have
players living out their ultimate action driving fantasy.
“Two years ago, we reinvigorated the franchise by listening to
what our fans wanted and built a game that returned to the Need
for Speed core tenets- fast cars, deep customization, and epic
cop chases. With Need for Speed Payback, we’ve raised the bar by
adding Hollywood-style, adrenaline-fueled action, a huge open
world, even more customization options, and a narrative that
drives gameplay forward,” said Executive Producer Marcus
Nilsson. “We’re excited to deliver a new driving experience that
not only delivers everything our players love about the series
but also pushes the boundaries of what they’ve come to expect
from the genre.”
Set in the gambler’s paradise of Fortune Valley, players can
drive as three different characters: Tyler, the racer, Mac, the
showman, and Jess, the wheelman, each with their own distinct
driving style. Together, they go up against The House, a
nefarious cartel that runs the city’s underground. Drift up and
down mountain roads, tear up the desert terrain, speed through
the city, complete insane heist missions and earn enough of a
reputation on the streets to get revenge in the ultimate race to
take down The House.
With cars at the center of everything in Need for Speed Payback,
Derelicts bring all-new and unique customization options. Take a
scrap chassis found on the side of the road and turn it into a
supercar dream machine. Five unique car classes bring endless
tuning opportunities for players to specialize their ride and
leave challengers in the dust during Racing, Off Road, Drifting,
Drag or Runner missions.
Epic cop chases bring even more heat to the road in Need for
Speed Payback. Smarter police mean it’ll take more skill to
escape and fend off new reinforcement vehicles like Rhinos and
Helicopters. Feeling confident? Take a chance on Bait Crates in
the open world, which award players mysterious performance
upgrades if they can escape an on-the-spot cop chase.
Need for Speed Payback is rated ‘T’ for Teen by the ESRB and is
available today for $59.99 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and
Origin™ for PC.
