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, confirming the absence of recent announcements. The reason? Criterion Games, the studio behind NFS, is fully committed to developing the next Battlefield installment. Zampella emphasized EA's dedication to this project, involving four studios and prioritizing player feedback to avoid repeating the missteps of Battlefield 2042. This player-centric approach extends to future Need for Speed content as well.

It's highly probable that EA will refocus on Need for Speed after the launch and initial post-release support for the new Battlefield title. This delay might prove beneficial. Recent NFS entries haven't entirely satisfied fans, and a player-driven reboot, allowing time for past disappointments to fade and nostalgia to build, could be a strategic move.

In short, new Need for Speed announcements are not anticipated in the foreseeable future.
