Need for Speed Heat's Palm City is a neon-lit beauty in new launch trailer
Park City is glowing
Need for Speed is at its best under a neon glow, and the latest entry is taking the series back to its fluorescent roots. In a new launch trailer, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Need for Speed Heat dazzles in its urban aesthetic; pink smoke ♒spewing from tailpipes, LED screens throwing out blinding shades of pink and blue, and twisting streets glinting wet. Heat is being hailed a potential return to form for a franchise many feared had steered far from its identity with recent entries like 2017's Need for Speed Payback, which is set in a fictional version of Las Vegas, Nevada.
Need for Speed Heat quite aptly takes place in a fictional take on Miami, Florida called Palm City, where a busy city entrenched in city mod culture make Heat at the very least look more like a Need for Speed game than recent entries. And according to our own Justin Towell's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:preview, Heat is shaping up to be more than a pretty makeover for the Need for Speed franchise, finding plenty of joy in Heat's new day-to-night cycle, deep 🎐modding system, and of course gorgeous cityscapes.
EA recently shared some of their inspirations behind the world-building process for Need for Speed, arguing that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Palm City is their best world yet. They kn﷽ow fans want a vibe closer to what we experienced in series-defining classics 𒐪like Underground 2 and Most Wanted, and they're betting on Palm City to deliver.
"We started looking for a setting that would feel both familiar to players and unique to Need for Speed. Miami gave us all the right ingredients - a vibrant city with a multicultural blend of music, cool street art and stunning night neons. It felt pretty fresh for a Need for Speed game, and we also knew immediately that i🐷t could deliver that classic NFS look," EA wrote about Heat.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staf👍f🙈 Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
