EA has announced Need for Speed The Run, scheduled for release on Xbox 360, PS3, PC, Wii and 3DS on November 18.

Players will be taken on a cross-country drive from San Francisco to New York as part of an underground world of illicit, high-stakes racing.

NFS The Run is being created by Black Box using DICE’s Frostbite 2 engine, and promises to take the racing genre to new heights with stunning visuals and car physics, plus a gripping storyline.

“This is the year that Need for Speed goes to the next level,” said Jason DeLong, executive producer at EA. “We think that Need for Speed The Run is going to surprise people with its intense, thrilling story and big action feel. But the game would be nothing without hot cars and crazy-fast chases. So that is what we’re delivering – explosive racing that will have players flirting with disaster at 200-miles an hour.”

Autolog, the Need for Speed franchise’s social competition functionality, is back and said to be better in Need for Speed The Run.
