Need For Speed ​​Unbound has been the subject of many rumors in recent months. For example, in April, journalist Jeff Grubb (VentureBeat) indicated that the game would have a particular aesthetic. "The next Need For Speed ​​will be photorealistic, but there will also be anime-like visual effects," he explained. other cartoon elements are flying all over the place. That's the kind of effect they seem to want to achieve."
