“Now, we’re delighted to be bringing that spirit of timeless racing competition back to new platforms and players where they can connect, compare and compete no matter what platform they’re on, even on the go this time with the Nintendo Switch.” “Need for Speed Hot Pursuit was ahead of its time when it released in 2010 as we built an automatic comparison and friend recommendation system in the game before that type of thing became a norm in today’s world,” said Criterion Games boss Matt Webster. It’ll also feature for the first time cross-platform mutliplayer play. Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered will come with enhanced visuals, all released DLC and the return of the asynchronous Autolog, the social-based suite that allowed players to compete against friends’ times and more. The game’s existence has been bubbling for a while, but the cat was let out of the bag over the weekend. The remaster of Criterion Games’ brilliant racer, its first instalment in the NFS series, is launching next month on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC is coming via it and Stellar Entertainment, who helped remaster Burnout Paradise in 2018. Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered is officially on its way.
