EA's VP Vince Zampella provided an update on the Need for Speed franchise, addressing the lack of recent announcements. The silence is due to Criterion Games' current focus on developing the next Battlefield installment. Zampella emphasized EA's commitment to this new Battlefield title, prioritizing player feedback and involving four studios in its creation. The aim is to learn from the criticisms leveled at Battlefield 2042's launch.
This player-centric approach extends to future Need for Speed content. It's highly probable that EA will revisit Need for Speed only after the launch and initial post-release support for the new Battlefield game concludes. This delay might prove beneficial, allowing time to address past fan dissatisfaction with recent NFS entries and potentially fostering renewed excitement for a future reboot.
In short, expect a period of quiet regarding Need for Speed announcements.
