New Need For Speed won't come out in the nearest future

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 commitment to developing the next Battlefield title. Zampella emphasized EA's dedication to this project, involving four studios and prioritizing player feedback to avoid repeating the mistakes of Battlefield 2042.

This player-centric approach extends to future Need for Speed content. It's anticipated that EA will refocus on Need for Speed following the launch and initial support period for the new Battlefield game. This delay might prove beneficial, allowing time to address past fan dissatisfaction with recent NFS installments and potentially fostering renewed interest.

In short, new Need for Speed announcements aren't expected anytime soon.
