The best-selling racing franchise of all time is back -- and the
stakes have never been higher. Get ready to race for your life in a
heart-pounding cross-country race from the Golden Gate to the
Empire State as Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:ERTS) today announced that
Need for Speed™ The Run is now available at retail stores in North
America. Need for Speed The Run has already earned a perfect 5/5
from Stuff Magazine, while Men’s Health heralds the game for its
“killer racing action." Univision highlights Need for Speed The Run
for its “spectacular cars and intense racing" and GameTrailers
declares the game “a blast to drive.”
Featuring an all-star cast including Mad Men star Christina
Hendricks, Never Back Down’s Sean Faris, 2011 Sports Illustrated
Swimsuit Cover Model Irina Shayk and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit
Model Chrissy Teigen, Need for Speed The Run takes players on a
thrilling cross-country race known simply as “The Run.” With $25
million on the line, players take the wheel as Jack Rourke
navigating thousands of miles of treacherous terrain from San
Francisco to New York squaring off against 200 other racers all
while evading the cops and the mob, who are hot on his trail.
“This is the biggest, fastest and most dangerous Need for Speed
game yet,” said Jason DeLong, Executive Producer, Need for Speed
The Run. “Need for Speed The Run delivers the series’ trademark
thrilling racing and ups the ante with incredible action sequences
and stunning performances from our all-star cast.”
And the action doesn’t stop when players cross the finish line
in New York. Need for Speed The Run delivers an addictive challenge
series and highly-competitive multiplayer. The acclaimed Autolog
feature also returns, delivering moment-by-moment performance
feedback to ensure players are always in head-to-head competition
with friends, enemies and online competitors.
The expansive vistas and impressive tactile environment in The
Run are made possible by the Frostbite™ 2 engine. The raw power of
the DICE game engine, that enhanced real time warfare in
Battlefield 3, enabled the massive scale and scope of Need for
Speed The Run from visually stunning courses like the slippery
slopes of Independence Pass, CO to the hottest vehicles, including
the all-new 2012 Porsche Carrera S and 2012 Lamborghini
Aventador.
The Run is the 18th entry in the Need for Speed franchise.
Started in 1994 with The Need for Speed, the franchise has sold
over 115 million units and totaled more than 1 billion dollars in
revenue.
Need for Speed The Run is available now in North America and
will be available on November 17, 2011 in Europe for the Xbox 360®
videogame and entertainment system, PlayStation®3 computer
entertainment system, PC, Wii™ and Nintendo 3DS™. For more
