Another veteran Champion returning from the bloody halls of Quake 3 Arena, this cybernetic clone is as cold as the Russian winters of his youth. His mutilated body — impervious to panic or pain — is the result of attempts by Moscow’s GRU to create the perfect infantry; his grafted mask is filled with putrefied blood that allows him to see through matter with his Piercing Sight Active Ability. And he has unlimited speed with his Passive Ability. That’s a vicious combination for Deathmatch and an absolute killer in Duel.

EA and Ghost Games have been working under the hood on a new Need for Speed game coming later this year. While they aren’t giving away the exact details yet, today they revealed that the new game will build upon the core gameplay brand pillars established with the 2015 reboot.

The team at Ghost is not stopping there. They also want to address fan feedback and take one of the biggest points of discussion from the previous game head on – the always online feature.
