The racing MMO Need for Speed Edge presents a new gameplay video and has entered closed beta.
Made for the Asian market, the new MMO from EA “Need for Speed” Edge impresses in gameplay videos. A closed beta has been running in South Korea for a few days.
In the PvP mode “Speed-Battle,” players can use a speed boost to catapult themselves in front of the other players’ vehicles when the energy is charged. In the video, however, you won’t see the typical sports cars, but rather cars that you might encounter on South Korean streets.
In a second mode “Item Battle,” players can scrape items off the road and then use them.
“Need for Speed Edge” belongs to the MMO releases of well-known Western franchises like Civilization Online or Call of Duty Online, with which Western companies aim to conquer the market in Asia. Consoles are hardly prevalent there; everything is centered around PC or mobile. Need for Speed Edge runs on the Frostbite Engine 3, which is also used by Star Wars Battlefront.
