EA today announced that Need for Speed Shift, the all-new authentic racing game in the Need for Speed franchise, will be released across Europe on September 17 and in North America on September 22.

“With Need for Speed Shift, we set out to create a racing game that pushes the genre and delivers something never before seen in a Need for Speed title,” said Patrick Soderlund, Senior Vice President at EA Games Europe. “By focusing on the driver’s experience through the first-person view, we are able to capture the high-speed intensity and gripping emotions of racing.”

Need for Speed Shift on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC is being developed by Slightly Mad Studios in collaboration with Black Box and Patrick Soderlund. Slightly Mad Studios includes developers and designers that worked on the critically acclaimed racing simulation games GT Legends and GTR 2.
