Officiellement annoncé par le biais d’ un communiqué de presse, Need for Speed Undercover s’ offre à vous en images, les premières du soft.
En plus de révéler ses premiers rendus, EA nous apprend que la star du Box-office Maggie Q (Mission Impossible III, Die Hard 4:  Live Free or Die Hard ) fera partie de la distribution du jeu en ce qui concerne les scènes “Live”, comme dans  NFS Carbon.

Maggie Q jouera l’ agent fédéral Chase Linh, séductrice hors-pair en charge du recrutement et de l’ accompagnement de futurs agents infiltrés. Le joueur incarnera donc un agent fédéral en infiltré devant effectuer des missions délicates et affronter certains agents du syndicat du crime lors de courses effrénées.

Développé par Black Box à Vancouver, Need For Speed Undercover devrait être disponible en Europe le 21 novembre prochain.

Guildford, UK – August 15, 2008 – Black Box, a studio of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS) today announced Need for Speed™ Undercover, the intense action racing title scheduled for release this holiday. The new game will feature international movie star, Maggie Q, as the lead character in the big-budget live-action sequences that propel the original story forward as players get behind the wheel. EA’s Need for Speed Undercover takes the franchise back to its roots and re-introduces break-neck cop chases, the world’s hottest cars and spectacular highway battles.
“Need for Speed Undercover features a deep and engaging story of spectacular Hollywood-style live-action that will transport players into the fictional world of the Tri-City Bay Area,” said Bill Harrison, Need for Speed Undercover Executive Producer. “Working with talent the calibre of Maggie Q allows us to deliver an unparalleled level of storytelling that will keep players engaged in between 180-mile-an-hour races.”
Maggie Q, who has starred in Mission Impossible III and Live Free or Die Hard, plays Federal Agent Chase Linh, a seductive handler who recruits and guides players as they go undercover. Players will take on dangerous jobs and compete in races in order to infiltrate and takedown a ruthless international crime syndicate.
“I’ve always been a fan of racing games and working on Need for Speed Undercover was an amazing experience,” said Maggie Q. “I was so impressed by the scope and quality of the overall production that goes into a videogame these days. It was like any other day on a Hollywood set; I felt right at home. The Black Box team is doing tremendous work here and I can’t wait to see the final game.”
