First reported earlier this year, EA is gearing up to re-release a new installment refreshing the Need For Speed franchise. As a part of the reboot, the developers have hinted that icons of the real-life racing world will play a large role in the story-driven racing game. This means that the likes of Ken Block and Porsche guru Magnus Walker will feature as rivals in the game, alongside Japanese icons Morohoshi-san – who you might remember from this video – and Nakai-san, founder of RWB tuning company and the Risky Devils drift crew. As to be expected, Walker’s Porsche 911 and Block’s kitted-out M-Block build will feature prominently in gameplay. Check out a trailer for the game above and look for Need For Speed to drop on all next-gen consoles November 13.
