A new Need for Speed quietly released. First players are exploring modern street racing from Chinese developers

The Need for Speed franchise continues to weather turbulent times. Electronic Arts has allowed specialists from China to experiment.

It turns out that a new game in the Need for Speed franchise was recently released. It is a collaboration between Electronic Arts and Chinese developers.

The new Need for Speed Mobile (also known as NFS Assemble) is a free-to-play game developed by TiMi Studios (Tencent). Just like in the “major” entries of the series, street racing and showdowns with law enforcement are featured here.

You can find Need for Speed Mobile for mobile devices via the following link on TapTap. 

Reviews for Need for Speed Mobile are currently “mixed”, with an average score of 6.5 out of 10. The car tuning options and open-world driving in NFS Mobile are being praised, as is the visual aspect of the project. 

However, there are certain concerns regarding the tracks, which some players describe as “practically a straight line”. In addition, not everyone is pleased with the current physics model; part of the community feels as though they are controlling a “caterpillar” rather than a racing car.
