New Need for Speed Rivals trailer is in hot pursuit

Take a look at the latest in ‘pursuit-tech’ in the new trailer for Need for Speed Rivals.

In Need for Speed Rivals, you can take on unique careers as both a Cop and Racer where your story, gameplay, cars, and tech differ for each side of the law. As a mysterious Racer named Zephyr, draw the attention of the masses in Redview County. In this trailer, you’ll get a look at some of the adrenaline filled moments that you’ll see on your Speedlist as a Racer, or the enforcement objectives you’ll be given in your Assignments as a Cop. Progress through your career, get access to faster, better cars and purchase more advanced tech to take out your ultimate rivals.

Playing the role of the racer is nothing new to the NfS series and there’s usually all kind of bells and whistles for the bad guys- the cops though? Not so much. That’s one of the pretty big changes that’s come with this year’s Need for Speed Rivals; the police mean business this time around.

EA and developer Criterion have seemingly put a lot of effort into balancing the dual ‘character’ types out and making playing as a law enforcement agent just as much fun as playing as an outlaw racer- just in vastly different ways.

Light the sirens, or run from them, when Need for Speed Rivals revs up on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC on November 19th with Xbox One and PS4 editions pulling into the next-gen garage at roughly the same time.
