Polygon, Electronic Arts delays release of newNeed for Speed, which didn't even receive an official name. Developers from Criterion Games will be sent to help DICE with the new Battlefiled, which is still planned for release in 2021.

EA Head of Studios Laura Miele noted thatThe decision was influenced by the pandemic, the recent acquisition of Codemasters, as well as the recent release of the Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit remaster. However, the redistribution was agreed upon with Criterion, and fans should not worry about their favorite series.

“We would never have made such a decision without[Criterion's] involvement without discussing it with them first and the impact it might have on [Battlefield]. They worked on [Star Wars] Battlefront, they worked on Battlefields, and they were already working closely with DICE. I’m really confident that this is a good decision for them,” Miele said.

Напомним, что Criterion поддерживала разработку обеих Battlefront, а также выпустила королевскую битву для Battlefield 5 «Огненный шторм».

Миле отметила, что компания смогла провернуть such a reshuffle thanks to the purchase of Codemasters. EA didn’t want the team’s new release to compete with Need for Speed, so Criterion directed its efforts towards Battlefiled. Still, the NFS franchise itself is not going to be closed or transferred into the hands of Codemasters.

According to Polygon, the new Battlefield and Need for Speed ​​will be released before March 2022 for Xbox Series S|X and PS5. Yet now EA has focused all its efforts on releasing a new military shooter.
