EA's Executive Vice President, Vince Zampella, recently shed light on the current status of the Need for Speed franchise. With NFS Unbound released over two years ago and a noticeable lack of subsequent announcements, many fans are wondering what's next.
The answer, according to Zampella, lies in Criterion Games' current commitment to developing the next Battlefield title. EA's primary focus is on this new Battlefield installment, a project involving four studios and a strong emphasis on incorporating player feedback. This reflects a commitment to avoiding the pitfalls of Battlefield 2042, which faced significant criticism at launch.
This player-centric approach extends to future Need for Speed content. Zampella's comments strongly suggest that EA will likely revisit the Need for Speed franchise only after the launch and initial post-release support period for the new Battlefield game. This strategic pause might prove beneficial, allowing time to address past fan disappointments with recent NFS titles and potentially fostering a renewed sense of anticipation.
In short, while a strategic shift in focus is underway, don't expect any new Need for Speed announcements in the immediate future.
