Electronic Arts has begun teasing what seems to be a remaster of 2010’s Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit.
A countdown timer has appeared on the official Need For Speed website, set to end on Monday, October 5 at 4pm BST (8am PT). Although the site does not give much indication of what the announcement could be, but it is expected to be the reveal trailer for Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered.
The official Need For Speed Twitter account has also posted a number of cryptic tweets that include shots of cars racing alongside police cruisers and one of a racer being chased by 10 police cars, which often occurs in Hot Pursuit.
Check out the tweets below.
