Sorry, You’re (Probably) Never Going To Get Another Need For Speed Game

Criterion Games has made it clear that it’s shifting its focus entirely to the Battlefield series, leaving the Need for Speed and Burnout franchises in the rearview mirror. Rebecka Coutaz, the vice president and general manager of Battlefield Studios Europe, emphasized this during the studio’s 30th-anniversary celebration, indicating that the company is not revisiting its racing games. This move signifies a strategic pivot that underscores the importance of Battlefield to the company's future, which could disappoint fans hoping for new installments in the Need for Speed series.
