EA's Vice President, Vince Zampella, recently provided an update on the status of the Need for Speed franchise. With over two years having passed since the release of NFS Unbound, and no subsequent announcements, many are wondering what's next.
The explanation is straightforward: Criterion Games, the studio behind Need for Speed, is fully committed to developing the next Battlefield installment. Zampella emphasized that this Battlefield title is EA's top priority, incorporating significant player feedback and involving a collaborative effort across four studios.
This renewed focus stems from a desire to avoid repeating the missteps of Battlefield 2042, which faced considerable criticism at launch. This commitment to player feedback extends to future Need for Speed content as well.
It's highly probable that EA will shift its attention back to Need for Speed only after the launch and initial post-release support for the new Battlefield game concludes. This delay may ultimately benefit the franchise. Recent Need for Speed titles haven't entirely met fan expectations, and a deliberate reboot, prioritizing player input, could be more effective if given time to build anticipation and nostalgia.
In short, don't anticipate any new Need for Speed news in the immediate future.
