We recently took a look at EA's lavish-looking new racer, Undercover, which will deliver lashings of new driving wrapped-up in an undercover cop plotline.

In line with this crime fighting motif, confirm to us today that the will also include a new mode - called Cops and Robbers.

Here's word on this from developer EA Black Box: "High-intensity police chases are a signature component of Undercover and this extends to the experience as well."

"The cops and robbers mode will thrust players into adrenaline-pumping battles as they utilize the Heroic Engine to deliver or prevent the delivery of the package to the safe house," continued executive producer Bill Harrison.

Need for Speed will return in November.
