Need For Speed: Most Wanted will launch on November 2 in the UK, EA has announced.

PlayStation Vita and iOS versions are also in development, alongside the previously announced PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions.

Need For Speed: Most Wanted is the latest game from Burnout creators Criterion Games.

According to the game’s blurb, “players will have the freedom to drive anywhere, discover hidden gameplay, takedown rivals, challenge friends or just hang out and toy with the cops. Everything they do counts towards the end goal of becoming #1 on their personal Most Wanted List.”

“Criterion is shaking up the franchise with Need for Speed Most Wanted,” said Matt Webster, Executive Producer at Criterion Games.

“This is Most Wanted for a new generation of players. We’ve brought everything we know about racing, chasing and exploration and smashed them together in a highly connected open world automotive experience. Whether driving solo or racing with friends in our amazing new multiplayer experience, Autolog fires up competition out of everything as players compete to be most wanted amongst their friends.”

A Limited Edition pack will also be available at launch featuring double speed points, custom liveries, pre-customized rollouts and two vehicles: the Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale and Porsche 911 Carrera S.
