E3 2017: Need for Speed Payback Gets First Gameplay Trailer

At Electronic Arts' EA Play press conference, Ghost Games presented the first gameplay of its upcoming Need for Speed, titled Need for Speed Payback. The game comes with a robust single player narrative campaign that puts the player in the shoes of former street racer Tyler Morgan (plus another two characters). 

Morgan is trying to rebuild his crew, win an apparently impossible race, and destroy a shady cartel named 'The House.' Five classes of cars will be available: Race, Drift, Off-Road, Drag and Runner. Deep customization is also on the menu, and there will even be derelict cars that can be found in the open world and restored to their former glory.

Need for Speed Payback, the latest entry in the long-running series, will have a renewed focus on story. It follows three playable characters — Tyler, the Racer; Mac, the Showman; and Jess, the Wheelman — who have teamed up to get revenge on a nefarious cartel called the House, which rules the casino, the cop and the criminals in the fictional locale of Paradise Valley. With its ragtag crew and dangerous villain, Payback sounds like it could fit right in to the Fast and Furious franchise. 

The game is located in a fictional location named Fortune Valley, coming with diverse environments, including cities, mountains, desert areas and even a canyon. Those who will purchase the Deluxe Edition of Need for Speed Payback will be able to play on November 7th, while the worldwide official release for everyone else will be on November 10th. The game will come for PS4, Xbox One and PC.
