The game looks to have anime aspects, which undoubtedly sets it apart from the previous installment.

According to the recent reveal trailer, Need For Speed Unbound is set to release on 2 December 2022. The platforms include PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, and they will all be launched on the same day. However, there could be some bad news for users of previous generations.
The reveal trailer doesn’t mention consoles from the previous generation, such as the PS4 or Xbox One, implying that fans would require a current-gen system to access the game.
