Electronic Arts has confirmed that massively multiplayer online racing game Need For Speed: World will be released on July 20.

Developed by EA Black Box, the online MMO allows players to compete in races and also access an RPG-style progression and power-up system.

In its 150 square-mile open world, the game features the most popular cities from Need For Speed: Most Wanted and Need For Speed: Carbon.

On July 20, the MMO will officially launch as a free download from the Need For Speed website, with players getting access to all races, pursuits and career progressions up to level ten.

After that point, gamers will be asked to pay for a starter pack, which allows them to compete up to level 50 and access a range of power-ups and vehicles.

Anyone pre-ordering Need For Speed: World will get access to the game a week earlier on July 13. They will also receive increased XP points and guaranteed access to all Need For Speed: World beta events.
