“At Criterion, we’ve always felt that games are more fun when
you’re playing with friends, so we put social competition at the
heart of the experience and made it front and center,” said Matt
Webster, General Manager of Criterion Games. “Bringing Need for
Speed Hot Pursuit back has been a real joy for us to remaster, as
we get to revisit compelling concepts built on older tech and
recreate them with fresh talent with modern tech and new
perspectives. With this remaster, we have more interactions than
ever as players can connect and compete no matter their platform.
It’s going to be a ton of fun seeing how much that heightens the
competition from our fans and new players alike.”
Featuring the winding roads of Seacrest County, Need for Speed
Hot Pursuit Remastered delivers the action from both sides of the
law - whether it’s busting suspects in supercharged cop
interceptors with tactical weaponry, or level the playing field
with counterattacks and defensive maneuvers as an elite racer. The
game’s multiplayer mode gives players the opportunity to play their
career solo or take on friends to earn Bounty and unlock new cars,
weapons and equipment. Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered will
take players on a nostalgic journey with fan-favorite modes like
Armed and Dangerous and Lamborghini Untamed, all seamlessly woven
into the gameplay. In addition, the game will also include brand
new achievements, car colors, reduced hard stops, an updated photo
mode and multiple quality of life updates creating an even more
well-rounded experience.
Instinctively delivering challenges based on results, Need for
Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered’s dynamic Autolog system is fueled by
head-to-head competition and is supported with cross-platform sync.
Not only can players compete with each other across any platform,
but they can also track valuable competitor insight, resulting in
friendly rivalry and a calculated victory.
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered brings back Criterion’s
critically-acclaimed Need for Speed™ debut, which won the coveted
Best Racing Game Award from the Game Critics Awards in 2010 and The
British Academy Video Games Award for Multiplayer in 2011. The game
is now available for $39.99 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo
Switch (when it launches on November 13), and $29.99 on Steam and
Origin.
