'Need for Speed World' racing in July

'Need for Speed World', the massively multiplayer online action racing game, is available for digital download on 27 July for the PC.

The Black Box game combines the rush of illicit street racing, deep RPG style progression, and vehicle customisation into a socially-connected 'Need for Speed' experience.

Players can compete against any one of their friends, family, or pick from thousands of players to challenge in online battles and police pursuits across 300km of sprawling open world.

Players can pre-order the 'Need for Speed World' Starter Pack to gain early access to the game on 20 July. Gamers will also unlock exclusive cars, earn double XP, reserve their driver names, and have VIP status permanently displayed in their driver profile before the game officially launches.

The Starter Pack includes credit of SpeedBoost (the in-game currency), full access up to level 50, and a bundled assortment of power-ups including Nitrous and Traffic Magnet to help players get started. Players can also purchase additional items like power-ups, double XP periods, and even rental cars starting at just a few cents.

A free client download of 'Need for Speed World' will also be available at http://world.needforspeed.com to give gamers a sample of the street-racing action with access to all races, pursuits, and career progression up to level 10.
