EA has announced Need for Speed: The Run, after the game was leaked over on ShopTo.net. Rather than denying the game's existence and switching into damage control mode, the publisher decided to reveal the game instead, with a teaser trailer.

This is Black Box's Frostbite 2-powered Need for Speed title, featuring "an illicit, high-stakes race across the country". The Run suffix refers to the game's route from San Francisco to New York, where your character must be first to complete The Run in order to get his life back, although we're not sure what exactly happened to his life in the first place.

"No speed limits. No rules. No allies," spouts the blurb attached to the trailer, which features our hero lying upside down in his car on a railway track. We can only assume that his particular run isn't going too well. You'll be needing sharp driving skills and plenty of determination to beat hundreds of the world's most notorious drivers on the most dangerous roads The Run has to offer.

Need for Speed: The Run is slated for release on November 15th, 2011 in North America and November 18th, 2011 in Europe. Check out the teaser trailer below.

  • here's hoping J.J. McClure is a secret character.
  • Awesome as long as its not like Undercover or Shift I'll buy it.
  • cool.
  • lol how many need for speeds do we need
  • i wonder if were actually going to be running instead of driving lol.
  • @4 a lot more, can't wait for it
  • Characters? A plot? In a Need for Speed game? Fuck...we all know how that turns out...
  • how many need for speed games we need in the space of 12months?
  • From shift to this. I'll wait for more info for sure.EA has a poor record with racing games in my book no matter who they work with...
  • WTF?! Another one?? Looks like Split/Second meets NFS: Hot Pursuit? Got me curious
  • they release nfs every year now, and most of them suck
  • I'm still 2 NFS games behind. PLEASE stop releasing them so quick EA before they go the wayside like Guitar Hero.
  • Another NFS Crap .... I Want a NFS Underground 3 plz
  • Let's hope that this is more similar to Most Wanted and Carbon than to the most recent NFS titles.
  • I thought hot pursuit was actually going to be like hot pursuit 2, Disappointed with that game, not feeding on any bull that EA gives me this time. EA, Try to make another underground. I feel that they are going to die faster then guitar hero.
  • Another Underground game would be nice although this might be good too
  • Yeah before we know it, these games are going to be like Driver with out of the car missions and shooting. Which I would be fine with as long as its a worth while game.
  • stop complaining, I know all of you will buy this day 1.
  • Thwy should just make HD version of most wanted.
  • damn I need to get to HOT PURSUIT first
  • Hot pursuit was amazing! Don't be mad if you suck at it. Shift 2....meh...its whatever. I need to see more footage of this, but by the look of it it will be good. Hot pursuit was perfect. And i totally agree with sipe. Most Wanted HD would be sick. There are a lot of HD collections. Lets get a NFS HD Collection. Underground 1, 2, and Most Wanted!!!!
  • Day 1 if its anything like hot pursuit I loved that game.
  • you'll be able to get out of your car and run around in this game, b/c you'll need to find new cars to drive once the cops shoot out your tires.
  • yeah whatever ill pass its more of a borrow or rent game or when it goes to 20 bucks. i agree with the guy that said nfs underground 3 plz
  • Cant wait. Hope its better that HP2
  • its the new MOST WANTED need for speed ive been waiting along time for the next most wanted diff name tho cant wait for that to hit the shelf
  • 2 nfs games in a year is fine by me cuz ther both completley differnt i.e. pro racing and street racing so stop your yapping. nfs hd collection as mentioned above does sound lethal :) i think this series defo needs 2 start looking about inc. more acion based play into there games like perhaps a mission where you have to drive to a cops house r a rivals garage who screwed u over n fuck shit up with guns etc. as long as it is in line with a good enough story like it could b it wud b unreal
  • Getting this, no doubt
  • i need this now shift 2 was terrible
  • oh yeah!
