Want for Velocity Unbound’s Quantity 2 replace provides day by day challenges, on-line cops

Launched in November 2022, Unbound is seen by many as a return to type for the long-running open-world driving collection. Nevertheless, its ponderous development ark and youthful aesthetic maybe aren’t to all tastes.

Fortunately, developer Criterion Video games – lately with the extra help of a number of former Codemasters staff – is constant to help the sport, with Quantity 2 set to be the primary of a ‘collection’ of updates that ship extra methods to earn that profitable commodity: money.

A collection of recent challenges

40 new challenges will likely be added in Quantity 2, with one of many primary modifications being the creation of Rumble Races. A brand new occasion sort, alongside the prevailing point-to-point, circuit races and drift occasions, for instance, we’ll hopefully see how these play out earlier than the replace launches. They’ll see you battle it out on the town’s Takeover circuits in opposition to pals.

Extra Endurance Occasions can even be added to the roster, expectantly serving to you to make more cash on the finish of every day.

Additionally aiding that trigger is the addition of 30-second time trial-style occasions calls Scorching Laps and Playlist Occasions, which sound like they mix challenges back-to-back.

One characteristic of Unbound is the inclusion of character customisation with real-world style manufacturers, which we really feel largely ambivalent to. Balmain is one such style home, and finishing a brand new Playlist Occasion unlocks a uniquely styled Lotus Emira, representing the Parisian fashion icons.

That is within the recreation already, pushed by the character Eléonore, however now it might be yours.

Day by day Occasions

Reminding us, on the floor a minimum of, of the network-connected occasions inside the 2015 Want for Velocity reboot (or was it a requel? Sure, we watched Scream VI final night time, okay…), Day by day Challenges will now characteristic inside Unbound.

We consider these aren’t to do with the sport’s personal day by day time cycle, however slightly real-world timing. In principle, each 24 hours, three new occasions will seem within the recreation to earn further XP and cash, or ‘Financial institution’ in Want for Velocity parlance.

Hopefully, that is one thing that helps you save up for that first physique package or crate engine within the early levels that bit faster.

On-line cops

For these racing on-line, there was a curious omission of the police up up to now. Offline, by the primary profession, the cops have a robust presence, with you attempting to shake them off after most occasions and keep watch over your warmth degree.

Following the Quantity 2 replace, nevertheless, gamers will be capable of cube with the cops when on-line and have interaction in multiplayer chases.

Additional rewards, map unlock DLC

For many who dig the visible trinkets, additional driving results, character victory poses and stickers will likely be added, and the choice of a paid DLC unlock known as ‘Key to the Map’ which reveals the situation of 260 collectables on the map for $4.99.

We get pleasure from looking for them myself and exploring the realm, however perceive that attempting to try this with the next warmth degree can get irritating, so the choice is there in case you’d prefer it. Suppose alongside the strains of the non-compulsory Treasure Map DLC for Forza Horizon 5.

What doesn’t seem like included presently is any new automobiles to the roster, however we’ll remember to go hands-on when the replace lands subsequent week.

Want for Velocity Unbound Quantity 2 launch date

Quantity 2 for Want for Velocity Unbound will launch on 21^st March 2023 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Sequence X|S.
