Pump the brakes on expectations for a new Need for Speed anytime soon. That’s because Criterion, the developer behind the racing series, is all in on supporting the next Battlefield experience currently. But EA is promising that Need for Speed will return eventually.
Eurogamer spoke with Battlefield boss Vince Zampella about Criterion, which now sits under the Battlefield Studios banner. Of course, that sort of change–with Criterion supporting the single-player experience for the next Battlefield–brings up questions about whether the developer might only be focused on the shooter series going forward.
“The Need for Speed team at Criterion are joining their colleagues working on Battlefield,” said Zampella. “As a company, it was important to us to take the last year to listen to our Need for Speed community and use their feedback to create content for Unbound. With an increased understanding of what our players want in a Need for Speed experience, we plan to bring the franchise back in new and interesting ways.”
