Need For Speed: Most Wanted Unreal Engine 5 remake gets gorgeous gameplay trailer

It's about time

Sometimes there is nothing better than booting up your favourite racing game and letting off some steam whilst you put pedal to the metal and zoom off into the sunset.

Originally released in 2005, Need for Speed: Most Wanted is one such example of a racing title that achieves that and now it has received an Unreal Engine 5 makeover.

Check out the original trailer for Need for Speed: Most Wanted below!

Winning the VGX Award for Best Driving Game, Most Wanted is one of the best of its kind so it is no wonder that fans have been calling out for a remake.

However, with Criterion Games working on more recent titles, it has been left to modder NostalgiaNexus to take hold of the reins and bring the title up to 2024 standards.

In a new video, NostalgiaNexus has shared over 50 minutes of gameplay from their Need for Speed: Most Wanted remake in Unreal Engine 5.

The video gives us an in-depth look at the game’s beautiful graphics, alongside a new feature that the modder has been working on; police AI.

We see a few police chases as well as some general roaming around the city and the latter has never looked better.

As a key part of Most Wanted, the new police AI brings even more life to the unofficial remake and this comes alongside improved textures and speed line effects like the ones found in the original Xbox 360 release.

There have also been improvements to the sounds of the cars which I’m sure you will agree is pretty important.

As a result, the BMW M3 GT sounds better than ever.

NostalgiaNexus also shared some comparison shots of their Unreal Engine 5 remake alongside the original 2005 release and it is safe to say that the differences are startling.

The modder has managed to capture the spirit and the vibe of the original title but has added a realistic and much-needed update.

Unfortunately, this mod is not yet available to download and it is unclear if it ever will be.

However, let us hope this inspires Criterion Games to work on that much-needed revival in the future.
