EA announces a one-week setback to the release of Need for Speed World, saying Black Box's MMO racing game will launch on July 27, rather than today, as previously announced. Likewise, the one-week early access begins today for those who preorder the Need for Speed World Starter Pack, a $20.00 USD package that includes $20.00 of in-game currency, access to the full game, and other perks. When Need for Speed World officially launches next week, a free client will be available that allows access to the game and progression to level 10. Here's a bit more on the game: "Need for Speed World combines the rush of illicit street racing, deep RPG style progression and vehicle customization into an immersive, socially-connected Need for Speed experience. Players can compete against any one of their friends, family or pick from thousands of top ranked players to challenge in intense online battles and police pursuits across 150 miles of sprawling open world."
