EA has just provided the first official information on Need For Speed 2022. This new episode, which may be exclusive to the new generation, is being developed by two studios.
The future of the Need For Speed license is reasonably clear today with a new announcement. Heading for a franchise revival?
Two studios on Need for Speed 2022
A few weeks ago, Pete Johnson, Senior Recruiter at EA, posted a job offer to find an experienced producer. But the detail to remember was that the candidate for a position at Codemasters Cheshire was destined to work on NFS.
We are seeking an experienced producer to join our studio (Editor’s note: Codemasters Cheshire) as we embark on an extraordinary journey to shape the future of NFS.
And ultimately, it hid something greater. Codemasters Cheshire merges with Criterion Games, and as a result, both entities will be working on Need For Speed 2022 and future games. The studio explained on Twitter:
We can confirm that Criterion Games and Codemasters Cheshire Dev Gear are officially teaming up to shape the future of NFSforming a single Criterion studio with two location centers. This integration builds on the close partnership that the two studios have been developing over the past few months. We both share common values and similar cultures and believe that bringing together the immense wealth of experience from both teams will help us provide our players with the best racing experiences possible.
The new generation and just them?
According to a previous rumor, Need For Speed 2022 would be a exclusively for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Say goodbye to the “old” consoles… like Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order 2. This new generation NFS could take place in a sunny American city like Miami. But nothing is really certain at the moment.
Finally, a video of NFS Mobile would have been leaked for those who want to drive anytime, anywhere.
