The announcement is accompanied by a teaser trailer showing a police cruiser chasing down a Ferrari. Players will assume the role of a cop or a street racer, in a campaign that takes place in the open-world environment of Redview County. Evading cops unlocks speed points, which can be used to purchase new cars, upgrades and items, such as turbo boosts, jammers and EMPs.
Cops, on the other hand, must work together as a team to bust as many street racers as possible. Each bust unlocks new vehicles and improved tech, including shockwaves, road-blocks and helicopters.
The game will also feature brand new AllDrive technology, allowing players to seamlessly transition from single to multiplayer.
Pre-ordering the game from selected retailers unlocks the black Nissan GT-R, early access to level 2 gadgets and exclusive liveries.
