Another installment in the Need For Speed franchise is getting shown off later this week. However, the actual title seems to have leaked ahead of time.
On Tuesday, Electronic Arts (EA) announced that a trailer for an all-new Need For Speed game is coming Thursday, Oct. 6, 2022, at 8:00 A.M. PDT // 11:00 A.M. EDT // 3:00 P.M. GMT. It’ll be live on the official YouTube channel come go-time here.
There’s no telling what the trailer will entail, but we do know the game’s actual title seemingly is: Need For Speed Unbound. Ahead of the reveal event, EA’s website briefly hosted an image that kinda-sorta spoiled the surprise. Check it out for yourself below.

Of course, this could be a label for something else within the game. So as ever, don’t take this leak as gospel.
There hasn’t been a mainline series entry since Need For Speed Heat by EA Gothenburg came out in 2020. Criterion Games, the studio primarily responsible for Burnout, is behind the upcoming franchise revival. Rumors are floating about claiming that Need For Speed Unbound will be out within the next few months — though there’s no telling if that’ll happen.
It’s been a pretty big year for racing games already between F1 22 and Forza Horizon 5‘s Hot Wheels DLC. So another Need For Speed would round things out nicely.
