EA reveals Need for Speed Undercover release date, cover babe
The Need for Speed ProStreet gig didn’t work out for Electronic Arts and internal studio Black Box, but the superstar publisher decided they could still make a turnaround for the franchise again, starting with Need for Speed Undercover. Perhaps guided by the popularity of night and illegal street racing movies, Need for Speed Undercover‘s design resettled for the open sandbox design of Most Wanted with a different story. A story, they say, that will include Mission Impossible 3’s Maggie Q.
In a recent press announcement by Electronic Arts, it was revealed that the new installment of the Need for Speed series, Undercover, will arrive on Windows PCs, PlayStation 3s, PlayStation 2s, Xbox 360s, Wiis, DSes, PSPs by November 18 in North America (November 21 in Europe).
And the new action racing game will return the series to its popular racing roots, including segments of police cruiser races and highway battles.
Interestingly, EA has also decided to shift gears for an extra mile and include a new cover babe for Need for Speed Undercover: the Asian-American actress and Hong Kong cinema superstar Maggie Q.
Known for her roles in Naked Weapon, Mission Impossible III, Live Free or Die Hard, and cameos in Around the World in 80 Days and Rush Hour 2, Margaret Denise Quigley will not only grace the action racing game’s cover, but also star as Federal Agent Chase Linh in a plot that EA CEO John Riccitiello claims to be inspired by action films such as The Transporter.
Also noted is the announcement of the Need for Speed Undercover‘s release on the Apple iPhone. More gaming updates as we get them.
