Need for Speed: The Run is a racing video game, the
eighteenth title in the long-running Need for Speed franchise, and developed by
EA Black Box and published by Electronic Arts. The Wii and 3DS versions were
developed by Firebrand Games, the team behind Undercover and Nitro (both DS
versions). It was released in North America on November 15, 2011 and November
18, 2011 in Europe.
The game is described as an "illicit, high-stakes race
across the country. The only way to get your life back is to be the first from
San Francisco to New York. No speed limits. No rules. No allies. All you have
are your driving skills and sheer determination".
Producers Jason DeLong and Steve Anthony stated during an
interview that Black Box aimed to obtain critical acclaim after their last game
received universally poor ratings.The Run was in production for three years,
though previous Black Box titles had much shorter development periods.[8] The
Run was Black Box's last game before its restructuring in 2012.
