EA studio Black Box has given word that Need for Speed Undercover has an online multiplayer mode entitled Cops and Robbers.

It’s four against four with one team on the run whilst the other gives chase. Sounds like it could be good. Well, Block Box seems to think so, anyway:

“High-intensity police chases are a signature component of Undercover and this extends to the multiplayer experience as well,” said Bill Harrison, Executive Producer at Black Box. “The cops and robbers mode will thrust players into adrenaline-pumping battles as they utilize the Heroic Driving Engine to deliver or prevent the delivery of the package to the safe house.”

Full press release through the link. Game’s out on every platform under the sun this November.
