Plants Vs. Zombies: Battle For Neigborville reveal trailer leaks early

For a moment there it looked like the new Need For Speed might actually get a proper reveal, with absolutely nothing having been leaked out about it until now.

But last night fans found an unlisted video that’s presumably destined to go live this afternoon, screen grabs from which confirm the game’s name and… admittedly not much else.

You can see a police car in the main artwork though, so that seems to imply that police chases will be back – which is not something all the games have.

The story will allegedly be more serious than usual and is pitched as a cross between the 2015 reboot and 2013’s Need For Speed Rivals, with an open world environment but no day/night cycle.

Whether the rumours are true or not the images are certainly legitimate and after several failures this is probably Need For Speed’s last chance to prove itself, so EA will likely be pulling out all the stops – especially as this year is the series’ 25th anniversary.
