There’s a new Need for Speed coming from Electronic Arts.

The video game publisher released a trailer for the upcoming game that will be officially revealed on June 15, with its release set for this Fall for the PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One systems.

The game will serve as a “reboot” of sorts with EA community manager Ben Walke saying, “With more than 20 years of history in its rear view mirror, we’re bringing Need for Speed back with a reboot that delivers on what Need for Speed stands for — rich customization, authentic urban car culture, a nocturnal open world, and an immersive narrative.”

Fans of the Need for Speed series will note that the trailer hints at an Underground-style game, although the teaser trailer is full of frantic action. Look closely and you will see noticeable cars such as an RWB 964 Porsche, a pink 180SX (240SX) and even a Scion FR-S. Expect more details on the upcoming game when EA releases a full gameplay trailer next month, just in time for E3 2015.
