Need for Speed Unbound Flexes Its Special Driving Effects Feature in Latest Trailer for the Upcoming Arcade Racing Title

Need for Speed Unbound is all set to take over the racing genre, with a new spin on the iconic arcade franchise from EA.

The upcoming title will feature fan-favorite cars and driving aesthetics that has made Need for Speed popular. However, it also arrives with a set of new features, which fans saw firsthand with the release of Unbound’s first trailer.

The biggest new visual feature revolves around the driving effects, which were focused heavily on the latest clip released on the game’s various social media platforms.

Yes, you can turn the effects off. In fact, you can choose to never put them on in the first place. Just like any other part of a car

The driving effects largely feature trails of smoke that are emitted by the cars used by players and their opponents, while traversing through the mean streets.

These trails can be customized by the players, and they’re offered a variety of options ranging from cartoons to grafitti-based designs of all shapes and sizes. Furthermore, they come in different colors as well, and players will have a ton of options to customize their whip to their tasting.

While many fans are excited about the franchise’s newest feature, some players aren’t too keen on using these effects in their arcade racing experience. Which is why, the developers at Criterion Games have them covered in that regard, as it has been confirmed that players can choose to forego these customizations altogether. However, players will have to adjust with the basic option for tail smoke and tail lighting, which can’t be disabled.

To try out all these features, players can pre-order Need for Speed Unbound, which releases on December 2.
