But with studio closures and a yearlong delay to work on Battlefield, on top of very poor communication and live service support from the past few entries, its fair to say expectations have been set very low amongst the community.Ĭriterion has a tough road ahead picking up the pieces and making a Need for Speed game that’s been worth the three-year wait, especially after the stellar reception Forza Horizon 5 has received and with other big racing titles launching next year as well including Gran Turismo 7, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown and GRID Legends. Need for Speed Heat received a cross-play update in June 2020, the title’s final update as the studio shifted gears to work on the next game, which was since delayed to “FY23” (aka November 2022) for the studio to work on Battlefield.įans and content creators have been in the dark regarding Need for Speed these last two years, with Criterion assuring us that Need for Speed Heat laid the foundation that the next game will build from. Suffice to say there’s a lot of unknowns and uncertainties around this project, with former NFS developers Ghost Games shut down in February 2020 – only 3 months after the release of NFS Heat - and development of the franchise placed in the hands of Criterion, right before entering a global pandemic one month later. That is, if EA doesn’t push back and delay the project again like they did in favour of Battlefield 2042 development last year. Its officially 2022! That means in roughly 10 months’ time, we’ll be playing the next Need for Speed game.
