GDC 2009: Need for Speed Shift Set for September Launch

None

EA announced today that their rebooted Need for Speed franchise will become available to North Americans on September 22, while European racing fans will get access to the game a couple days earlier on September 17.

Need for Speed Shift looks to change up the series through its focus on first-person cockpit perspective.  The game will also feature more cars than ever and should be visually brilliant.

In a statement to IGN, Patrick Soderlund, Senior Vice President at EA Games Europe stated, “With Need for Speed SHIFT, we set out to create a racing game that pushes the genre and delivers something never before seen in a Need for Speed title.  By focusing on the driver’s experience through the first-person view, we are able to capture the high-speed intensity and gripping emotions of racing.”
