❗️The once-iconic Need for Speed racing franchise appears to have been indefinitely shelved by Electronic Arts. This decision is underscored by the reassignment of developer Criterion Games, who created the latest entry, NFS Unbound, to focus entirely on the Battlefield series. The apparent commercial underperformance of Unbound, combined with the subsequent shutdown of the EA-funded car culture site Speedhunters, points to a complete halt in future development. Although EA has not officially declared the series canceled, these major internal shifts strongly suggest a long-term hiatus for the venerable racing brand. Given the franchise’s history and popularity, is this the final pit stop for Need for Speed, or could it make a comeback with a different developer someday? What are your thoughts? 🤔💭 Featuring Media From Electronic Arts #needforspeed #gaming #cars
