"This explosive adventure is filled with intense heist missions, high stakes car battles, epic cop pursuits and jaw dropping set pieces. It’s blockbuster gameplay never before seen from the series, fueled by a gripping story of betrayal and revenge. With Need for Speed: Payback, it’s no longer just about being the first to cross the finish line or racing to prove to be the best, it’s about building the perfect ride, getting behind the wheel and playing out an action driving fantasy. Set in the underworld of Fortune Valley, players will drive as three distinct characters reunited by a quest for vengeance against The House, a nefarious cartel that rules the city’s casinos, criminals and cops. They will take on a variety of challenges and events as Tyler, the Racer; Mac, the Showman; and Jess, the Wheelman to earn the respect of the underground. Featuring the deepest customization from the series, players can truly craft a personalized and unique ride, or spend hours finding and tuning an abandoned derelict into a supercar. They can then push their cars to the limit and raise the stakes by betting on their own performance, where they can either multiply their winnings or risk losing it all."
In the city of Fortune Valley, skilled driver Tyler Morgan and his crewmates - off-roader Sean MacAllister, skilled spy Jessica Miller, and trusty mechanic Ravindra Chaudhry - live it up in the underground scene of street racing. However, after a job set by race fixer Lina Navarro ends in a shocking betrayal, Ty and his crew, partnered with "the Gambler" Marcus Weir, plot their revenge against the House, a nasty cartel running Fortune Valley's underground, by entering the Outlaw's Rush, a high-stakes street race where the elites race against each other. Action-packed chases, tight-knit street crews, and high-octane showdowns await in Fortune Valley. It's time...for PAYBACK!
