Need for Speed: Edge

This game is defunct. Do note the game no longer works at all without modifications. This is most likely due to the game's servers being shut down (as of May 30, 2019 in Korea and January 27, 2022 in China). As a result, further official developments with the game are unlikely to happen.

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: These days, these days, get so hard to breathe... These is a folder called _debug_ found in Data/Win32.

Need for Speed: Edge is one of the few Korea/China exclusive Need for Speed games unbeknownst to most of the people outside the region, a pseudo-sequel to EA Black Box's Need for Speed: World made on the Frostbite 3 engine.

Again, just like the other early NFS games built on the Frostbite engine (with the exception of Need for Speed: The Run), THE. GAME. CAN. NOT. BE. PAUSED.

Unused Textures#

Cop Driver#

Our friend "F8" from Need for Speed: Rivals has returned, although he appears to be missing a body with only his skin and his clothes remain. Despite Edge having police in the game, the driver model used is the player's.

Hidden Texture Parts#

Abarth logo in the Fiat 500 badge texture#

The Fiat 500 badge texture contains an Abarth logo not seen anywhere on the car, it is unknown if the developers intended to add an Abarth 500 before deciding to use its non-performance counterpart or this is simply added to the texture by mistake.

Unfinished Motorbikes#

There are several files hinted that motorbikes were meant to be included in Need for Speed: Edge.

These is only one unused map, referred to as emptylevel, as the name suggests, the level is empty and has nothing but a skybox.

Regional Difference#

There is a Wrap Editor only available in the Korean version only. However data for it still exists in the China version. It's unknown why it wasn't in the China version of the game.
