Criterion Games and Electronic Arts will be releasing the next update to the racing title, Need For Speed Unbound, as Volume 3 drops on June 20th. This is technically the second in a series of post-launch updates the team has produced to keep the game flowing, as they are adding several new races, new playlists, new events, Daily and Weekly Challenges, new cosmetics, new customizations, and new rides. The big one you need to keep an eye out for is the '80s classic DMC Delorean. We have the full rundown from the devs below of what you can expect, as well as the trailer for the content, as you can also get finer details on the game's website.
"In Need for Speed Unbound Volume 3, players will come together for intense stunt-based driving challenges against the clock in new Linkups, allowing them to earn big rewards like the DMC Delorean car. The update also introduces Speed Pass, a new way to get rewarded for completing challenges and events across Lakeshore."
- Speed Pass: Rank up with Speed Pass, a new progression system with free cosmetics and customization items as a reward for playing. Enjoy 75 tiers of content, including new outfits, Driving Effects, neon lights, banner stickers, and more. Complete challenges to earn XP for sweet rewards, like the new Legendary Custom SRT Viper (2014).
- Linkups: Take a break from the track and tear across the map to one of seven locations, from the Seba Ski Resort to the Quarry. Join up with the Lakeshore community to crush stunt-based challenges and complete collective goals of escalating difficulty against the clock over four rounds. Players will be rewarded with XP for Speed Pass and Bank to earn sweet cosmetics and customizations; complete 12 rounds of the Linkups event to win the new DMC Delorean.
