‘Need For Speed 2022’ Release Faces Delay As Supposed Gameplay Footage Leaks

Gameplay footage from the highly anticipated EA racing game series Need for Speed ​​has leaked online, and while it has drawn mixed reactions from gamers, it appears the game will face some delays, possibly with a later release date.

The three-second gameplay video of the upcoming game “Need for Speed” has been leaked online. Although it has been removed from some social media platforms, it is still available on subsection Game leaks and rumors. Brief footage shows a speeding car eventually crashing into a barrier.

After the crash, the screen flashed red, with cartoonish skulls and crossbones and anime-like wings appearing above the car. EA has yet to comment on the purportedly leaked gameplay video, but the video appears to be taken from an early alpha version of the game.

Interestingly, the leaked gameplay seems to be in line with what Venture Beat’s Jeff Grubb said on the GrubbSnax podcast in April. According to Grubb, the upcoming Need for Speed ​​game will combine realism with some anime elements.

“You know, when you see an ad for a car or something like that… the car is driving around, but then, it’s like a cartoon flame flying off of it? The sparks are flying and it looks like it’s going out animation? That’s what the kind of aesthetic they seem to be after,” Grube explain in April.

He also noted that the game is set in a fictional version of Lake Shore Chicago and will feature automatic logbooks and car customization. Last year, EA was expected to drop a new version of the “NFS” series, but nothing was released.

After announcing that a new Need for Speed ​​was coming a few years ago, EA kept mum on the project. As we all know, the game was developed by Criterion Games, but other than that, gamers don’t know anything about the game’s release platform, gameplay, or even its official name.

In the morning of his game chaos podcast On Twitch, Grubb claimed that EA decided to delay the release of the upcoming Need for Speed ​​game from November to December.

It’s worth noting that while these details about the game are interesting, EA has yet to release an official statement about the game. In other words, fans should temper their expectations and view the latest series of leaks and information about the game as highly speculative at this stage.
