EA Announces Shift 2 Unleashed

embedded by Embedded Video

Maybe you just sat down with a bright, shiny copy of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, happy that you have the latest and greatest Need for Speed. Well suck it up because EA’s going to ruin your warm fuzzies by announcing Shift 2 Unleashed, which oddly drops the Need for Speed prefix despite using it in the announcement teaser. The press release doesn’t give a lot of firm hints as to the actual nature of this game, but implies that the game will be more competitive and combative. Check out this excerpt, it’s something else:

SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED builds on the true drivers experience by introducing the driver’s battle, an even more authentic and primal feeling of power and speed which elevates the fundamental competitive race into a struggle for supremacy against other drivers and even the track itself. In SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED, players’ hands sweat and ache as they clutch onto the controller, their pulse races from the break-neck speeds experienced through the first-person cockpit view.

Shift 2 Unleashed is currently scheduled for a Spring 2011 release for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.
