EA's Vince Zampella, Executive Vice President, recently provided an update on the Need for Speed franchise. With NFS Unbound released over two years ago and no subsequent announcements, many are wondering about the future.
The explanation is straightforward: Criterion Games, the studio behind Need for Speed, is currently fully committed to developing the next Battlefield title. Zampella emphasized that this new Battlefield is EA's top priority, incorporating extensive player feedback and involving four studios in its creation.
This renewed focus on player input stems from the criticism leveled at Battlefield 2042 upon its release. Zampella's "listening to players" approach extends to future Need for Speed content as well.
It's highly probable that EA will only revisit Need for Speed after the launch and initial post-release support for the new Battlefield game concludes. This delay might prove beneficial. Recent NFS entries haven't met with universal acclaim, and a player-focused reboot, allowing time for past disappointments to fade and nostalgia to build, could be a shrewd strategy.
In short, any news regarding the next Need for Speed game is unlikely in the foreseeable future.
