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, EA remains quiet on future installments.
This silence is explained by Criterion Games' current commitment to developing the next Battlefield game. Zampella emphasized EA's dedication to this project, prioritizing player feedback and involving four studios in its creation. The company aims to learn from the heavily criticized launch of Battlefield 2042, avoiding similar missteps. This player-centric approach extends to future NFS Unbound content.
It's highly probable that EA will refocus on Need for Speed only after the launch and initial support period for the new Battlefield title concludes. This delay might prove beneficial; recent NFS entries haven't met fan expectations. A strategic reboot, prioritizing player feedback and allowing time for past disappointments to fade, could revitalize the franchise.
In short, any new announcements regarding Need for Speed are unlikely in the foreseeable future.
