EA reveals Need for Speed Undercover release date, cover babe

Posted Aug 15, 2008 at 6:24PM by QJ Staff Listed in: News Tags: Electronic Arts, Europe, iPhone, John Riccitiello, North America

In a recent press announcement by Electronic Arts, it was revealed that the new installment of the Need for Speed series, Undercover, will arrive on Windows PCs, PlayStation 3s, PlayStation 2s, Xbox 360s, Wiis, DSes, PSPs by November 18 in North America (November 21 in Europe).

And the new action racing game will return the series to its popular racing roots, including segments of police cruiser races and highway battles.

Interestingly, EA has also decided to shift gears for an extra mile and include a new cover babe for Need for Speed Undercover: the Asian-American actress and Hong Kong cinema superstar Maggie Q.

Known for her roles in Naked Weapon, Mission Impossible III, Live Free or Die Hard, and cameos in Around the World in 80 Days and Rush Hour 2, Margaret Denise Quigley will not only grace the action racing game's cover, but also star as Federal Agent Chase Linh in a plot that EA CEO John Riccitiello claims to be inspired by action films such as The Transporter.

Also noted is the announcement of the Need for Speed Undercover's release on the Apple iPhone. More gaming updates as we get them.

# lol iphone. — UltimaArmorX 2008-08-15 17:24

they are really grasping aren't they?

# wtf... — manneke 2008-08-15 18:16

...Need For Speed on an iPhone

# yeah but — kraft 2008-08-15 19:36

that's just typical EA

Games that show up on new and and old gen consoles are nearly always crap.

If they concentrated on only making new gen games their games would be a lot better and wouldnt get such low ratings

# lol — dazmo 2008-08-15 20:21

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaay! i cant wait to play this game! im gonna buy the old console version and the iphone version too!!!

i bet this game has lots of neat new things to do in it!

its GTA without all the rest of it!

# lol — itzzspencer 2008-08-15 23:36

ITS THE GIRL IN BALLS OF FURY LOL

# To be precise — d4ntes 2008-08-16 01:03

...she is half polish:D

# night racing sucks! — catacamas 2008-08-16 02:40

Im sick of night illegal racing!!

does EA plans to keep making this games forever?

will ever return the GOOD NFS games like HOT PURSUIT 2? THIS IS THE REAL NEED FOR SPEED!

PLEASE! OUTRUN 3! GRAN TURISMO MOVILE!

ANOTHER GREAT BURNOUT FOR PSP!

# AMEN BROTHER! — GW2 2008-08-16 03:11

Hot pursuit 2 is the best need for speed ever. i still play it all the time!

# Hell Yeah — chessboxer 2008-08-16 04:14

Hot Pursuit 2 was the nuts!! After that, I like Underground (not Underground 2) and Most Wanted, but Hot Pursuit 2 was the daddy of all NFS games.

# I hope it's like NFS Most Wanted — CHUCKINGROCKSATSPACESHIPS 2008-08-16 12:44

NFS Most Wanted is my favorite so far. Also, I hope they don't make it all night racing because that sucks. I like variety. Yeah, and NFS Hot Pursuit 2 kicks ass too! I even liked NFS 3 on the first Playstation. I played the crap out of that one.

# So True ^^ — NemesisDTP 2008-08-16 13:19

^NFS HP2 was the BEst NFS alongside with Most Wanted!

A mix of the two would make it ideal!

# Ahh no way? — Sanzee 2008-08-17 05:00

Well she's ok but I think we all know of some girls who would better fit the cover for this game!

# lol — khaijiao 2008-08-17 05:42

Has anyone else actually seen Naked Weapon? Terrible movie. Except the part where all the female assassins get drugged and raped by two huge guys, and the guys keep giving each other high fives and pats on the back. Bravo, Maggie Q.

# LOL — StaindLibra 2008-08-17 21:32

Yay. Another rushed title by EA! :|

# Quigley? — chloe 2008-08-21 09:41

Her last name sounds funny that's probably why she preferred to use Q lol
