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.

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).

Circuit
The classic race type with laps.

Sprint
The classic point-to-point races.

Lap Knockout
The classic race type with laps, but with the last player to cross getting eliminated.

Autocross
Similar to Street X races in NFS Underground 2, racers have to compete in relatively short enclosed tracks.

Tournament Knockout
Similar to Tournaments, but more akin to Hot Pursuit 1998's knockout mode, where the one who finishes the race last is eliminated. The last one surviving wins.

Combat
The game features a MOBA-like mode, called 'Combat Mode'. Two warring crews must be able to take their garages.

"Hercules"
An Gymkhana obstacle course-like race where the player has to avoid obstacles. Avoiding them grants points while hitting them deducts points. At the same time, to gain points, you need to perform a bunch of advanced skills.

"Atlas"
Endurance races(20-lap circuits or 50 km sprints) lasting no shorter than 10 minutes. Massive rewards await the player.

"Acropolis"
A Touge battle or a canyon battle, renamed as Acropolis.

"Hermes"
A Wangan battle that forces the car to have good acceleration to reach a certain top speed. The speed goal depends on car tier and upgrades installed, and difficulty of the race.

"Chimera"
A mixture of any Normal mode race that starts with Circuit, Sprint, Drag, and Tandem Drift. Inspired by Reddit's u/DedSekk's Akuma race.

Cars
Need for Speed: Untitled (Car List)

Weapons
Some races and events(Battle Race, pursuits, etc) feature 'Weapons Online' option. This means the player can use weapons in certain modes. However, you cannot use weapons in Free Roam unless a police pursuit or a marked man event begins. Bounty hunters cannot trigger weapon activation unless a police chase or a marked man event is underway.

Map
The game is set in Elysium County. Elysium County features nine boroughs, all as large as, at least, Fortune Valley from Payback. The map will be the biggest ever seen in an NFS game.

Nakamura Peaks

 * The mountainous northwest side of the map, where drifters and tuners reign.

Jansen Tundras

 * The snowy northern portion of the map, rather adjacent to Nakamura Peaks, where snow rally cars reign and blizzards affect racers.

Montgomery Village

 * A rural area with lots of plains and houses as far as the eye can see. Located on the northeast. Dominated by supercars and muscles. Also has a Fall-themed section.

Watson Scenic Route

 * A forest biome that is ruled by SUVs and offroaders. Located at the west of the map rather adjacent to Nakamura Peaks.

Carson City Center

 * The center of the map, a city like borough. Features an airport, a huge metropolitan area, anything a capital city has to offer. Dominated by supercars and tuners.

Character Classes
Bruiser- Similar to Blockers, they destroy enemy vehicles with their cars, Generally, they use high weight cars, SUVs, and muscles.

Slayer- Master of using weapons, however, they generally are less durable than Bruisers.

Characters
While there are characters in the game that take after every NFS game, this game is specifically set as a direct sequel to the mobile phone game NFS No Limits, where their characters will be given more importance here.

Another disclaimer, some of the No Limit's characters' names are actually modified and are simply my headcanon, such as Brian Lee or Garfield "Garry" Kozlowski.

Terrorists
Aside from police, terrorists lurk within the streets of Elysium County. Their intentions are to destroy the player, rather than detain him/her. Every borough features different terrorist vehicles.

Bounty Hunters
Aside from police and terrorists, bounty hunters lurk within the streets of Elysium County. Their intentions are to simply drain the SP of the player, without the consequences of being busted by the police or taken down by terrorists.

Soundtrack
Like most NFS games, the game features soundtracks. However, additional soundtracks can be downloaded online to make a list of preferred songs.

Trivia

 * The names of the boroughs are named after vehicle manufacturers from Burnout Paradise.
