A fan project called 2Unreal5Underground is remaking Need for Speed Underground 2 in Unreal Engine 5. A new gameplay video shows improved features including AI traffic, free-roaming opponents, and Outrun races.

The driving physics have been revised with new suspension and better jump control. The project is approximately 75% complete. Planned features include a full career mode, an open world Bayview, multiplayer, co-op, and expanded tuning.

A free demo is available now via the project's Discord server.

Need for Speed Underground 2 is widely considered one of the most deserving entries in the series for a remake. However, it remains to be seen whether Electronic Arts will tolerate the free fan project in the long run.
