Need for Speed Heat | Deluxe Edition (PC) – Steam Gift – EUROPE

Need for Speed Heat is an exhilarating racing game from Electronic Arts and Ghost Games, set to be released on November 8, 2019. The twenty-fourth installment in the NFS franchise transports players to the vibrant, fictional Palm City—a sun-soaked metropolis inspired by Miami. Featuring both sanctioned and illegal racing events, Need for Speed Heat promises intense high-speed action and deep customization.

Deluxe Edition Comes With:

• Starter Car: The K.S Edition Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X, available from the start in your garage.
• Additional K.S Edition Cars: Unlocked through progression.
• Exclusive Character Outfits: Customizable outfits for both male and female avatars.
• REP and BANK Boost: Increase REP rewards by 5% and BANK rewards by 5%.

Story

In Need for Speed Heat, you dive into the gritty world of street racing in Palm City. The game presents a more serious narrative, focusing on the high-stakes world of illegal racing. You’ll play as one of twelve customizable avatars and face off against rival racers and the relentless police. The story unfolds through a mix of core missions and side activities, offering a grounded yet thrilling experience.

Gameplay

Need for Speed Heat features an expansive open world that allows for both day and night racing:

• Day Racing: Participate in sanctioned Speedhunters Showdown events on designated tracks. These events reward you with in-game currency, which you can spend on upgrading and customizing your cars and avatar.
• Night Racing: Experience the underbelly of Palm City with illegal street races. Driving at night earns you reputation points, which can be used to unlock new customization options. The night is also when the police become more aggressive, ramping up the challenge and risk.

The Heat and Cops

The game introduces a dynamic Heat mechanic where your wanted level increases with your resistance against law enforcement. During the day, the police are relatively mild, issuing fines for infractions. At night, however, they become relentless, attempting to destroy your vehicle to stop you. Managing this risk versus reward dynamic is key to maximizing your reputation gains.

Available Cars

Need for Speed Heat boasts a diverse lineup of over 127 cars from 33 brands, including the return of Ferrari. The collection ranges from classic models like the Volkswagen Golf GTI 1976 Hot Hatch to modern supercars such as the Nissan 370Z Nismo 2018 Coupe.

Car Tuning and Customization

Dive deep into car customization with options for both performance and appearance. Modify your vehicle’s stance, install aesthetic effects, and even tweak the exhaust sound. Spend your daytime earnings on upgrades and use your nighttime REP to unlock new customization parts. Additionally, personalize your avatar’s look to match your style.

Reception

Early reviews have praised the game for its return to classic car tuning mechanics, moving away from the card-based system of previous installments. The dual-day-and-night gameplay offers a fresh, varied experience, and the absence of loot boxes and gambling mechanics has been well-received.
