EA has announced its newest update for Need For Speed Heat that adds new cars for you to own to the streets with as well as a bunch of other updates that are now available in the game.

Need For Speed Heat’s first car pack is here, and it includes two cars to choose from. The 2018 edition of Aston Martin’s luxury vehicle the DB 11 Volante, which is the free option and the 1993 version of  McLaren F1 supercar, which will cost you $4.99 through the games Black Market Delivery feature. Here are features each vehicle comes with:

  • Narrative setting with VO
  • 6x Challenge Sets for the player to complete (3-5 hours of gameplay) featuring both recycled (activities) and new content (exclusive new events)
  • Character outfits
  • Customization items
  • Vanity items

For those not familiar with how the Black Market Deliveries work in the game, players meet up with a new character Raziel who is an underground car dealer who imports two types of cars. For free 99, players can get variants of already existing cars and brand new ones that will cost you some cash. Each vehicle has its own back story that begins when you drive down to Port Murphy to pick them up from the shipping containers the cars are contained in. From there, Raziel will ask you to do favors for him, and once each one is completed, you will receive a reward.

Also, there will be challenges for you to complete as well that will earn you visual customization parts for your new rides, character outfits, and effects fitting the car’s theme. On top of that, players can look forward to discovering new events that can be replayed once the Black Market Challenge is complete.

  • An update that gave racers the ability to plug in their own steering wheel back in January
  • A chat wheel function
  • A Keys to the Map pad option that will instantly reveal the locations of collectibles, activities, and gas stations on the in-game map.

Need For Speed is back. The famed street racing franchise last hit consoles back in 2017 with Need For Speed Payback, is set to return this year with Need For Speed Heat Electronic Arts announced today (August 14).

Developed by Ghost Studios, who also brought us 2013’s Need For Speed Rivals, 2015’s Need For Speed and Payback, Heat is an ode to Miami street racing. In the trailer, we are taken to the fictional open world of Palm City, where street racers compete in sanctioned competitions called Speedhunters Showdowns during the day. Players will earn bank from the races that they can use to “customize and upgrade their garage of high-performance cars.”

By night players will partake in underground races to build up their rep. At the same time, they will have to avoid “rogue cops” who are looking to steal your hard-earned money.

The last entry in the Need For Speed franchise, Payback, was met with criticism due to it relying on microtransactions. In a press release, Ghost Studios Creative Director, Riley Cooper touched on listening to fans this time around to deliver a better experience with Need For Speed Heat:

“We’re delivering more options than ever before for players to be unique and make themselves known. Our fans have been clear that they want more cars, more customization, and more challenges, and we’re tuning up on every aspect. From your character’s style to your car’s performance and your driving style, we’re fuelling everyone’s creativity with this new game.”

Need For Speed Heat arrives November 8, 2019, for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. EA Access, Origin, and Access Origin members will be able to enjoy up to 10 hours of playtime on November 10. You can watch the game’s announcement trailer below.
