We were promised frequent updates that would make Need for Speed ‘s online requirements seem more forgiveable, and Ghost Games has delivered. The Legend update has been revealed and it does a lot for the game. There’s a new legend, customization items, music, trophies/achievements, decals, wraps, challenges, collectibles, and the ability to take your reputation level up to 70.
Some of these Need for Speed updates are more important than others. Eddie and Melissa’s reappearance from Need for Speed Underground is a big one. If you get in touch with Melissa, you could end up finding yourself challenging Eddie. Two of the new achievements/trophies, “Zero to Hero” and “Eddie is Back,” both deal with that. “Hit the Ceiling” is awarded if your REP reaches 70. But then, 113 customization items, more daily challenges, and 13 new songs help too.
Since there’s so much to go through, here’s a trailer that shows off some of the Need for Speed changes.
