After taking a year hiatus, EA and Ghost games have returned with the latest installment to their long running racing franchise. Need For Speed: Payback is the title of the new game and is set to be released later this year. After a series of cryptic tweets that teased the game and it’s environments, EA released a trailer this morning to officially unveil the new title.

The game will be a story-focused title and it revolves around a character named Tyler Morgan and his crew. According to the game’s press release, Morgan and his crew are on a mission to tale down a cartel that call themselves “The House.” Need for Speed: Payback will also be keeping the vehicular customization options that have been seen in previous games.

There will be five different classes of vehicles that players will be able to choose from. Runner, Drag, Off-road, Race and Drift are these five options and the developer has confirmed that there will be customization options visually and also in performance. Fortune Valley is the name of the region where the game will take place and according to Ghost, there will be different types of locales that can be explored.

The Need For Speed “Autolog” will also be making a return in the title and it is a way for players to beat friends on leader-boards and other challenges. EA has also confirmed that the new game can be played offline entirely. The Need for Speed game of 2015 was online-only and players were required to have an internet connection at all times, even in single-player.

The Need for Speed franchise was rebooted in 2015 and Payback will be the second title since. The game is developed by Ghost Games and is their third entry into the series. Need for Speed: Payback is available for Pre-order now and players will receive a “Platinum Car Pack” for ordering.

Need for Speed: Payback will release on three separate dates depending on what editions players purchase. The game will release on November 7 for those who order the deluxe, and November 10 for the standard edition. There will also be an EA/Origin Access trial for the game a week before on November 2.

The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.
