Black Box, a studio of Electronic Arts today unveiled the online modes in Need for Speed Undercover, including the all-new multiplayer mode, Cops and Robbers. This visceral team-based mode pits two teams of four players against each other in the ultimate battle-royale.
Robbers must pick up the package and take it to the drop-off point while the cops attempt to prevent the delivery. Each game consists of two rounds giving the players the chance to play as cops and robbers. Up to eight players will also be able to prove their driving prowess in sprint and circuit multiplayer race modes.
"High-intensity police chases are a signature component of Undercover and this extends to the multiplayer experience as well," said Bill Harrison, Executive Producer at Black Box. "The cops and robbers mode will thrust players into adrenaline-pumping battles as they utilize the Heroic Driving Engine to deliver or prevent the delivery of the package to the safe house."
Need for Speed Undercover is being developed by Black Box in Vancouver, B.C., and is slated to be in stores in Europe on November 21. The game will be available for Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3, and Wii as well as the PlayStation 2, Nintendo DS, PSP, PC and mobile.
