The Infinity Project: A Need for Speed Game

The Infinity Project: A Need for Speed Game is an upcoming open-world racing game. It will be released on all Microsoft Windows, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms. The game may also be released on all Mac and Linux versions, as well as possibly being ported to the Nintendo Switch in the future. It will be released sometime in 2027.

It tells the story of a new protagonist encountering characters from the mobile game Need for Speed: No Limits, who adjusted to the new environment that is known as Elysium County, where they will meet the characters from the PC games, as well as new characters native to Elysium, or outside characters, that set the plot in motion.

Day/Night
The game has a day-night cycle. Certain events can only be accessed by either day/night, or both. While the day/night cycle is similar to Heat (more dangerous when night), be still wary of the day. However, unlike Heat, which is "forced", it follows a "natural" D/N cycle similar to other games.

Chronos
A feature that connects the game in real-time D/N. Requires internet connection.

Blizzard
Only exclusive in Jansen Tundras.

Smog
Only exclusive in Krieger Industrial Park.

Sandstorm
Only exclusive in Hunter Canyons.

Reputation System
Players unlock certain items, such as cars, parts, allies, and races when they reach certain tiers. They earn reputation levels when participating or winning races(of course, much bigger when winner), and finishing story missions. There is no cap in reputation levels, but increases much longer in higher levels.

State of Chaos
The State of Chaos is a progression flag that triggers when Atomika is defeated. Atomika was once a famous DJ stating the state of Elysium on Crash FM 2.0. Defeating him however earns him at your side and finally introduces you to a State of Chaos, where every crew has gone wild, every cop and racer on a never-ending chase, and terrorists and bounty hunters constantly trying to ruin your day (think Terraria's Hardmode).
