EA has announced Need for Speed Rivals for current and next-gen consoles.

Set for release on Xbox 360 and PS3 on November 19, 2013 and Xbox One and PS4 later this year, the game promises to capture "the adrenaline and intensity of the street's ultimate rivalry between cops and racers, in a stunning open road environment".

Players take on the role of a racer or a cop, with each side of the law offering its own set of challenges, risks and rewards. The game will also feature Ferrari for the first time in seven years

"The more cops players evade, the more Speedpoints they collect, enabling them to unlock new cars and items. Keep raising the stakes race after race, earning more and more Speedpoints along the way and becoming a more valuable target to the cops - but risk losing it all if busted.

"As a cop, players work together as part of a team in pursuit of racers, earning prominence and rising in the ranks of the Police Force with every bust. Achieving higher ranks unlocks new police only cars and more powerful pursuit tech."
