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

by Leo Mar 18,2025

EA's Executive Vice President, Vince Zampella, recently shed light on the current state of the Need for Speed franchise. With NFS Unbound released over two years ago and a noticeable lack of subsequent announcements, many fans are wondering what's next.

The reason for the silence? Criterion Games, the studio behind Need for Speed, is fully committed to developing the next Battlefield title. Zampella emphasized that EA's top priority is this new Battlefield game, a project involving four studios and a strong focus on incorporating player feedback. This commitment stems from a desire to avoid repeating the missteps of Battlefield 2042, which faced significant criticism upon its release.

This player-centric approach extends to future Need for Speed content. While no concrete plans have been revealed, it's highly probable that EA will shift its attention back to Need for Speed only after the launch and initial post-launch support for the new Battlefield game concludes. This delay might prove beneficial, allowing time to address past fan concerns and potentially fostering renewed excitement for a revitalized Need for Speed experience.

In short, don't anticipate any Need for Speed news in the immediate future.
