Need for Speed SHIFT Revs Up with
All-New Team Racing Mode and Legendary Cars

Electronic Arts Inc. today announced
an all-new Team Racing pack for the critically-acclaimed Need for Speed SHIFT.
The content pack takes online racing to the next level with an action-packed new
race mode and five renowned racing cars – all for free (Need for Speed SHIFT and
Xbox LIVE or PlayStation Network account required). The Team Racing pack is the
first downloadable content for Need for Speed SHIFT and will be available
worldwide on December 1st on the Xbox 360. The pack will be released for the
PlayStation 3 on December 3rd in Europe and on December 10th in North America.

The Team Racing mode brings a fresh
new challenge to SHIFT by completely redefining online racing. In this mode, two
teams of up to six racers will battle against each other for online supremacy.
Individual driving strategy and playing it safe won’t work as team tactics and
200 mph split-second decisions are required to push your team to the podium.

As part of the new content, players
will also get access to these legendary racers:

  • 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray
    427

  • 1967 Shelby GT-500

  • 1969 Dodge Charger R/T

  • 1971 Dodge Challenger R/T

  • 1998 Toyota Supra Mark IV

The Team Racing content pack is
custom-made for Need for Speed SHIFT, a spectacular racing game originally
released in September 2009. The game introduces a brutal first-person crash
dynamic and a signature cockpit view that delivers a true driver’s experience.
The game further personalizes the experience through the all-new driver profile
— a unique persona based on the driving skill and style of each player. With a
perfect ‘10’ score from GameSpy.com and G4TV.com, and 90+ scores from IGN.com,
Official Xbox Magazine, PlayStation: The Official Magazine, Team Xbox.com, Game
Daily.com, Gametrailers.com and more, Need for Speed SHIFT is the highest rated
Need for Speed game in years.

Need for Speed SHIFT is now
available on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, PSP, mobile and coming soon on the
iPhone. More information can be found at
