Need for Speed No Limits announced for smartphones and tablets

Electronic Arts announced today Need for Speed No Limits, the next installment of the publisher's annual racing game series, coming to smartphones and tablets.

Firemonkeys, the studio behind Real Racing 3, is handling the development of this new mobile game, which has been built from the ground up "to deliver the insanely-fast driving and incredible graphics that fans have come to expect from Need for Speed — all in the palm of your hand."

"The team at Firemonkeys has also been bringing Need for Speed to mobile gamers for years, and it’s an honor and a privilege to once again get behind the wheel of this incredible franchise and redefine street racing on mobile. We’re constantly amazed by the power and performance we’re able to get out of the latest phones and tablets and think you will be too," said executive producer Robert Huebner.

Not much else was said about Need for Speed No Limits, but EA did provide a little sneak peek video featuring Ken Block, who is partnering with the publisher for the game.

More details about the cars, characters, and customization in Need for Speed No Limits will be shared in the weeks and months ahead.
