The saga of Need for Speed is about to make its roaring return with Unbound, a new chapter that will transport players to the roots of the brand, with clandestine races and rigged cars. Need For Speed Unbound, Criterion promises, will represent a return to origins and to the true spirit of the series but at the same time it will innovate, introducing several new novelties.
As reported in a previous interview with IGN, one of the key components of Need For Speed Unbound will be the new “Risks and Rewards” mechanic. Once behind the wheel, in order to participate in the various races in the game world, players will have to place a bet on your win. But be careful, during this phase you will have to pay a lot of attention to your rivals, each of which will be characterized by its own degree of strength. Taking a risky bet against a more experienced opponent than us could therefore cost us very dearly.
Once familiar with betting, the new “Risks and Rewards” dynamic will allow players to win attractive prizes. The more challenging the challenges, the higher the bets placed, the greater the potential prize pool of each race.

Choose how and when to play it all, making huge drifts on the street, overtaking the cops or betting your earnings against rivals. Time is money, so players must find the fastest way to earn enough money to participate in the weekly qualifiers and make it to the final race in Lakeshore, The Grand “
