    Need for Speed: the new title has been postponed to 2022, here's why

    Need for Speed, famous title developed by Electronic Arts, was postponed to 2022. Confirmation came from Laura Honey, CSO of the US software house. The reason, according to what has been learned, is the development of the new chapter of Battlefield: for this reason, the production house Criterion Games she is relieved of the development of the motorsport title and diverted to work for the sixth video game of the famous first person shooter.



    Battlefield is selling very well, the development team has been working incredibly well over the course of 2020 and yes, we are working from home and it is very difficult to develop smart working titles. The EA DICE team struggled a little. We have a great game with enormous potential. We are working for success, we are working to put a good title on the market

    From these words, it is clear that the absolute priority of the US software house is Battlefield 6. Regarding the departure of Criterion Games from the development of the next title in the Need for Speed ​​series, Laura Miele herself commented:

    We couldn't have made such a decision without first discussing it with them and the impact they might have on Battlefield 6. They've worked on the Star Wars Battlefront series, the Battlefield series, and have a close and collaborative partnership with DICE. I am sure they will be successful

    Specifically, EA's purchase of Codemasters (the deal will close by the end of spring), a software house specializing in the creation of motorsport titles, has granted Electronic Arts itself to take the decision to postpone, and the consequent hijacking of Criterion Games on Battlefield 6 at a lighter heart. By the way, the release of a main title by Codemasters, such as F1 2021, could have collided with that of a new chapter by N4S. This is why it was chosen to wait and concentrate efforts on Battlefield 6. In any case, there is no need to despair: it is just a matter of waiting another year, unfounded. You can pass the wait by catching up on our review of Heat, the last chapter of the motoring series.
