Criterion Games has confirmed the continuation of the Need for Speed franchise. However, they are currently prioritizing work on the next Battlefield game, which may delay future NFS releases.

Summary

• Criterion Games has ensured that the Need for Speed series will continue.
• The team is now focused on developing the upcoming Battlefield title.
• Fans of the franchise might have to wait until the early 2030s for a new game, as the next NFS installment may not enter active production until after the latest Battlefield is released.

Despite the longest gap in the series’ history since its inception, the studio’s commitment to reviving this beloved series remains intact. The upcoming iterations will likely depend heavily on the successful launch of the next Battlefield project.
