Electronic Arts went on a clever marketing stance with a timer counting down since a few days back. The website cleared the fact that the announcement was related to the Need for Speed franchise. While there was no news for a brand new NFS game anytime soon, it was worth wondering what was going to come.

NFS Hot Pursuit is getting a remastered version that comes out on November 6th. The original game was released ten years ago and has been a fan favorite throughout the years.

Fans can expect graphics upgrades due the modern-day hardware.
