Black Box and EA have released a new trailer for their upcoming racer, Need for Speed: The Run. Previously, we've seen videos on the Challenge Series, the story, and importantly, the not-appearing-in-Forza Motorsport 4, Porsche.

Today's video focuses on the latest Need for Speed's multiplayer. The trailer shows off Muscle Car Battles as well as races involving Exotic Sprint Cars. After the race is picked, a bonus wheel will appear, offering extra prizes such as bonus XP for the top finishers or even a new in-game car if you finish first.

Alright, enough text. Get to the watching:


In case you can't view the video, this description also sheds some light on The Run's multiplayer:
Are you ready for the most accessible online racing experience ever offered? Need for Speed The Run is offering matchmaking technology so you can join races already in progress instead of waiting in lobbies. Create a party with friends, pick a playlist of your favorite challenges and compete for supremacy across every stage of The Run. By mastering all of the playlists you can level up and earn access to exclusive vehicles, upgrades and abilities with the Bonus Wheel.Still looking for more? We've got you covered, then. Take a peek at these new screens:

Edit: Since the publication of this article, EA has since released a developer diary showcasing the making of the TV commercial through the eyes of Michael Bay:



Thanks to a recently released demo, you can give Need for Speed: The Run a try before it is released on November 15th in North America and November 18th in Europe.

Maybe it's just the camera that keeps zooming in and out, I dunno.

Enjoyed the demo but with all the games coming out I probably won't pick this game up until sometime early next year.
Is it really an achievement if it's easy or everyone has it?

Looks like a beautiful game. Hope the handling is better than Hot Pursuit. Couldn't get to grips with it in that.

NFS is actually going back to its roots?
I do enjoy them harkening back, maybe it'll actually be good again.

The handling seemed a little better to me but it's still far closer to Hot Pursuit than it is to Shift.
