Electronic Arts' Need for Speed franchise is introducing a new version that drives the series in a new direction.

Need for Speed ProStreet is a Need for Speed experience where players are thrust to compete head to head against the best street racers in a multitude of racing showdowns. The game is being developed by EA Black Box in Vancouver, and is slated to ship next Spring.

“Need for Speed ProStreet accelerates street racing culture by providing the ultimate stage for the pursuit of street racing supremacy,” says Executive Producer, Larry LaPierre. “This is a game about building the ultimate performance-tuned battle machine, taking it to multi-disciplinary showdowns all over the world and pitting your skills and reputation against the very best street racers.”

Need for Speed ProStreet pushes Autosculpt technology to a new level, allowing players to directly impact their cars' performance for the first time as well as personalising their appearance.

Need for Speed ProStreet will be available on all formats. More information can be found at needforspeed.com.
