Confirming our report from Sunday, EA announced today that Need for Speed Most Wanted is currently under development at EA Canada. The game will combine the street racing and customization the franchise is known for with strategic police pursuits. As players progress through the game, they build up their Rap Sheet and street cred to move their way up the Black List, all in an effort to become the "most wanted" street racer.

"Out-race your opponents, evade cops and exploit the open world in Need for Speed Most Wanted; street racing doesn't get any better than this," said Larry LaPierre, senior producer, EA Canada. "Players instantly will feel the thrill of the ride as they hit the streets in an open world environment where drivers can tune their cars to compete against any class of vehicles or use their wits to out-fox the law to satisfy their need for speed."

No pricing or release date information was available.
