The new Need for Speed Shift is currently in development and will be released at the end 2009. NFS-Planet visited the Slightly Mad Studios in London and got some impressions of the upcoming racing game. Read here about what you can expect in Need for Speed Shift:

Barely 73 days have passed since the release of Need for Speed Undercover, and EA already announced its successor Shift? What, at first glance, looks like some kind of hasty panic reaction due to Undercover's rather moderate critiques, turns out to be a long-planned, in the NFS universe independent racing simulation.


"Change" was a certain guy's main slogan for his election campaign – it seems like the developers from Slightly Mad Studios have taken the same motto to heart: New concept, new engine, new driving physics – Shift shares with previous Need for Speed titles just little more than the name. Speaking of name: “Shift” could certainly refer to shifting gears, but in this case, a meaning like "change" seems more appropriate.
