Continuation of Need for Speed postponed to next year -apkrig
The end of the day does not bring good news for fans of the Need for Speed racing series. Despite last November’s promise that a new volume will arrive in the 2022 financial period, Electronic Arts representatives are now announcing the change. The title, which is being created at the Criterion Games studio, has been postponed for two interdependent reasons. The first is the problems caused by the coronavirus pandemic, the second is the fact that DICE is reportedly unable to complete Battlefield 6 and that Criterion Games will need the capacity for the Christmas season.
It’s not easy to make games from home and they’re a little tired at DICE, “says Laura Miele, EA’s director of studios.
“Battlefield is great, the team works incredibly hard, you knew it last year. But yes, we work from home, which is very difficult. It’s not easy to make games from home and they’re a little tired at DICE, “says Laura Miele, EA’s director of studios. It is the deployment of Criterion that is therefore intended to partially address this situation and guarantee that the next Battlefield will be in shape. “Of course, we couldn’t have made that decision without first talking to Criterion Games and addressing the impact they could have on Battlefield,” explains Miele, recalling that Need for Speed had previously helped DICE with Battlefront and signed up for battle royale. Firestorm mode in Battlefield V.
One of the other reasons why EA finally decided to delay the development and release of Need for Speed is also the acquisition of Codemasters, thanks to which there should be no shortage of racing titles. If the plans have not changed, we are counting on at least another year of F1, but it is possible that more racing games will come out. At the end of her statement to Polygon, Miele reassured that Need for Speed remained in Criterion’s possession, and getting elite developers from Codies didn’t change that. “Anything that concerns NFS is the responsibility of Criterion. Things always go through them to know everything. They are the owners of the brand, “concludes the director of studies.
