A series of three NFS Hot Pursuit DLC packs will be released in consecutive weeks beginning February 22, Criterion has announced.
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit: Armed and Dangerous
Contains two all-new game modes that expand and extend the online experience. ‘Most Wanted’ is an open world battle where the cops are out to bust a specific racer while the racers battle to protect them, making full use of the open world and weaponry. In ‘Arms Race’ it’s every man for himself as racers use their full arsenal of weaponry on each other in ruthless races to the finish.
This pack also contains three new trophies and achievements.
February 22 – £5.49/560 Microsoft Points
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit: Lamborghini Untamed
Adds three of the world’s most famous Lamborghini’s to the game. The legendary Lamborghini Diablo SV, Lamborghini Countach LP5000 QV and Lamborghini Sesto Elemento will all be playable as both a cop and a racer.
In addition to this, the Lamborghini Untamed content pack will include 10 new events and four new trophies and achievements.
March 1 – £5.49/560 Microsoft Points
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit: Porsche Unleashed
Adds the Porsche 911 Turbo (1982 Edition), along with the Porsche 959 and 911 Speedster. Also included in this pack are 10 new events and four new trophies and achievements.
March 8 – £5.49/560 Microsoft Points
While PS3 and Xbox 360 gamers can look forward to the new content, Criterion made no mention of plans to bring the cars and events to the PC game.
While Just over £5 doesn’t seem like all that much money, asking NFS fans to part with £16.50 for all three DLC packs could be wishful thinking on EA and Criterion’s part. That’s almost the cost of a new game a few weeks after release.
