Need for Speed: Heat is the twenty-ninth game in the Need for Speed series, and the fourth developed by Ghost Games.

It was announced by publisher Electronic Arts to be released for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on November 8, 2019. An earlier 10-hour trial release date of November 5, 2019 was outlined alongside the reveal for EA Access through PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, as well as Origin Access for PC on the same date.[1] Those with an Origin Access Premier subscription for PC can play the full Deluxe Edition release of Need for Speed: Heat, which was made available on November 5, 2019.

The name of the 2019 game was revealed on August 14, 2019 with a reveal trailer showing the setting, a contrast of legitimate and illegal racing, the presence of police, and unique player avatars. The official Need for Speed website was also updated with a second countdown timer, which ended on August 19, 2019 at 8pm (BST) / 12pm (PDT) / 7pm (UTC), and concluded with the release of a gameplay trailer during the Gamescom Opening Night Live event.

Following the reveal of Need for Speed: Heat, an Under The Hood article was posted to the r/needforspeed subreddit[2] [3] by F8RGE; the Global Community Engagement Manager at Electronic Arts. The post highlights aspects unique to Need for Speed: Heat, and that the game does not feature any loot boxes, which appeared as Shipments in Ghost's previous game; Need for Speed: Payback.

It marked the series' 25th anniversary, following the first game's release in 1994 - Road & Track Presents: The Need for Speed - and the second game denoting the series' long history following the Black Edition of Need for Speed: Most Wanted; released in 2005 to mark the series' 10th anniversary.

Story

NFSHE PalmCityDay Gif.gif

The story follows the player participating in the Speedhunters Showdown, an organised racing event held on the streets and surrounding countryside of Palm City.

As they participate in more events at the Speedhunters Showdown, they attract the attention of Lieutenant Mercer; the leader of a task force within the PCPD. The player eventually becomes a target for the task force, alongside them becoming an influential participant of the Speedhunters Showdown.

The player ascends through the Speedhunters Showdown, earning bank and fame for their legitimate racing; and through the Palm City underground racing scene, earning a reputation and notoriety for their illegal street racing.

Campaign

Campaign missions are story centred events that occur as the player proceeds through the Speedhunters Showdown and as they reach higher Rep Levels racing at night.

Driving Stories

Driving Stories are side-story centred events that are unlocked alongside campaign missions, but focus on characters outside of the main narrative. They can appear during the day or night, and reward rep as well as bank.

Gameplay

NFSHE DayNight Gif.gif

The career allows players to take a role of their own avatar in Palm City, a fictional representation of the Southeastern United States, with Miami, Florida taking precedence, and that they can participate in various forms of racing.

AllDrive

Players will join an AllDrive session - which can be played offline - with an AllDrive session's server including up to 16 players, as well as allowing those players to transition between day and night as those instances are sharded from each other within an AllDrive session.

Party

Players can invite others to join their party, with up to 8 players in a party within a single AllDrive session.

Multiplayer

Players can participate in pursuits together in freeroam by being in proximity of each other and the PCPD.

Invites can be sent server-wide or to the player's current party by pulling up to an event and sending the desired invite through an onscreen prompt.

Events

The event types available are offered during both day and night, with the rewards offered differing between the two time periods.

During the day, players earn bank (Bank) from participating in events hosted by the Speedhunters Showdown.

During the night, players earn rep (Rep) from participating in illicit street racing events and engaging with the PCPD.

Each event has a recommended performance level and optimal handling profile before entering as well as an Autolog recommendation from either a friend or a rival. Players can also swap their vehicle before entering an event.

  • Race - Compete against multiple racers on roads
    • Circuit Race - Complete all laps and reach the finish line in first place.
    • Sprint Race - Pass through checkpoints and reach the finish line in first place.
  • Off-Road - Compete against multiple racers on off-road
    • Off-Road Circuit Race - Complete all laps and reach the finish line in first place.
    • Off-Road Sprint Race - Pass through checkpoints and reach the finish line in first place.
  • Drift Trial - Beat the target score before reaching the finish line.
  • Time Trial - Beat the clock before reaching the finish line.
  • High Heat - Compete against multiple racers at night and survive what the PCPD can assemble.

Day - Speedhunters Showdown

NFSHE SpeedhuntersShowdown Gif.gif

The Speedhunters Showdown is a sanctioned racing competition that can be entered during the day. As a legitimate racing event, players can earn bank to customise and upgrade their cars.

Pursuits can be engaged with the PCPD, but their tactics and ability to escalate a pursuit is limited during the day.

Bank earned can be used to purchase cars, improve car performance with parts, and modify cars through visual customisation.

Night - Underground Racing

NFSHE NightTransition Gif.gif

Underground racing is an illegal racing competition that can be entered at night. As an illicit form of racing, players can earn rep to level up their avatar.

Racing during the night will attract the attention of a rogue police task force that patrols the streets of Palm City. They're tasked with shutting down street racing in Palm City, which can lead players to risk their earned rep against the police or lose their earnings in handcuffs.

Driving at night will result in the player being noticed by the PCPD's task force and will result in their vehicle being allocated a heat level. Reaching higher heat levels from engaging with the police will act as a multiplier for earned rep during the current night session, and can only be earned by reaching a safehouse or owned garage.

Being busted by the PCPD will end the player's current night session and they will only be rewarded their earned rep without any multiplier.

High Heat Events

High Heat (HH) events require the player to be at a certain heat level before they are permitted to enter.

They typically feature a more pronounced police presence that allows the player to unlock Ultimate and Ultimate+ performance parts, but they will have to win the event and evade the police to unlock the part for all cars.

Pursuit

NFSHE PoliceRhino Gif.gif

Pursuits in Palm City can take place during day or night, but the PCPD's response to a pursuit differs depending on the time period. Players earn rep from participating in pursuits, with great amounts offered during night than day.

Day time pursuits limit the PCPD's available tactics, their ability to escalate a pursuit, and their options for apprehending a street racer.

Night time is handled by a task force lead by Lieutenant Mercer and is funded by the PCPD. The tactics, resources, and options utilised by the task force is not limited, with Lt. Mercer authorising any force required, as they're not held to the same discretion as their day time patrolling officers.

Police will not intervene with a sanctioned day event, but will step in to any night time events, and will continue to pursue any street racers after the event has ended.

Both players and PCPD units have a strength bar, which will indicate the structural integrity of their vehicle. Any vehicle that completely depletes their strength bar will 'wreck'; wrecked police units will leave a pursuit, but a wrecked player will be busted.

Heat Levels

A heat level represents the pursuit condition a street racer's vehicle should be treated with; 1 being the lowest engagement and 5 being the highest engagement. Each heat level also equates to the amount a player's earned rep for a current night session will be multiplied by, should they successfully reach a safehouse or garage.

Cooldown

NFSHE PalmCity GarageGif.gif

Escaping a pursuit will trigger a cooldown state, in which the player has to elude the police long enough for a pursuit to disband. Evading a pursuit during the day will reset a player's heat level, although at night the player's car will retain their current heat level.

Evading a pursuit will allow the player to successfully complete their night session by entering either a safehouse or an owned garage.

While escaping means that a player is no longer being pursued by the PCPD, it does not mean they have be awarded their earned rep. Their earned rep isn't awarded to them until they reach a safehouse or owned garage, which will also end their current night session.

Busted

NFSHE Busted Gif.gif

Busted is when a player has been pinned by PCPD units for a certain amount of time, is completely immobilised during a pursuit, or has depleted their strength bar.

Being busted will reward the player with any rep they have earned during the current night session, but will not be multiplied based on their heat level. They will also have to pay a fine using bank depending on their heat level.

Vehicles

NFSHE Car Placeholder.jpg

Cars can be driven at either during the day, to participate in Speedhunters Showdown events, or at night, to participate in illegal street racing. The car driven by the player has a strength bar that can deplete through collisions with the world, other racers, or the police.

Cars

Cars can be purchased for bank and each can be customised using visual components or performance parts.

Each car has an associated performance level from 0 to 399, with a higher number denoting better performance. A car's overall performance level is also made up of four section:

  • Power - The amount of power and torque produced by the car's engine
  • High Speed - The top speed of a car
  • Acceleration - The car's ability to gain speed
  • Nitrous - The additional power produced by the car's engine when using nitrous

Cars are unlocked as players progress through, and increase, their Rep Level by earning rep at night, and special edition cars can be unlocked with certain downloadable content packs or through specific events.

This includes car packs and a time savers pack for collectables scattered around Palm City.

A couple of comments made by Ben Walke, the Global Community Engagement Manager at Electronic Arts, noted that Need for Speed: Heat would not feature any loot boxes or "surprise mechanics[5]", and that there would be post-launch car packs released as paid-for downloadable content.
