Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit will be released on November 19, EA has announced at its pre-E3 conference. Criterion, best known for its Burnout series, is developing the title and was on hand to demo the game – one player took on the role as the cop, while the other tried to evade.

Craig Sullivan, Creative Director of the game said: “At Criterion, we’ve been playing Need for Speed since it was first introduced on 3DO. We are honoured and excited by the opportunity to reinvent the franchise for today’s connected audience. Our goal has been to create cops vs. racers pursuits that are so fun, fast and exciting it really brings to life the adrenaline and intensity of the high speed cop pursuit experience with your friends.”

New to the series is the Auto Log, a social hub that keeps you up to date with what your friends are doing in the game.

NFS Hot Pursuit is coming to Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, with a Wii version also due, but developed by Exient.
