NFS Shift 2 Unleashed in development
Simulation Series Returns, Now Even Faster and More Connected
Electronic Arts today announced Shift 2 Unleashed, the next entry in the blockbuster Need for Speed simulation series. The original Shift game was released in September 2009 and has sold through close to five million copies globally.
Capturing the physicality and brutality of racing at 200mph has been the leading area of innovation by the award-winning development team at Slightly Mad Studios. Shift 2 Unleashed builds on the true drivers experience by introducing the driver’s battle, an even more authentic feeling of power and speed which elevates the fundamental competitive race into a struggle for supremacy against other drivers and even the track itself. Launching in Spring 2011, the world debut trailer for the game was revealed today as bonus content for the action racing Need for Speed title, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit.
“Shift 2 is redefining immersive racing by blending the rush of tearing up the track at unbelievable speeds with the emotional experience of competitive battle,” said Marcus Nilsson, Executive Producer. “We are also working closely with real-world performance drivers to ensure that Shift 2 captures their experience and becomes the benchmark in authentic racing action.”
Shift 2 Unleashed features an all-new rendering engine with a massive graphics overhaul that puts the player in the heart of the racing action. With an innovative helmet camera view simulating the physical experience of driving at 200mph, the thrilling experience of night racing and authentic degradation of tracks and cars. The game also incorporates the next generation of Need for Speed Autolog - the groundbreaking network that connects friends for epic head-to-head races and compares player stats for the ultimate social racing competition.
Developed by the award-winning Slightly Mad Studios, Shift 2 Unleashed will be available on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.
