EA confirms Criterion working on new Need For Speed game
Even though Electronic Arts already has two PC Need for Speed games in the pipeline (the racing sim Need For Speed Shift and the free-to-play MMO Need For Speed Online) two separate sources have confirmed that the publisher is also letting the Burnout team at Criterion Games take a crack at the long running racing game franchise.
EA's COO John Pleasants mentioned the news during today's William Blair 29th Annual Growth Stock Conference and Kotaku chatted with EA CEO John Riccitiello who also confirmed the news. Riccitiello said folks shouldn't expect a Burnout-NFS merger, saying only " . . . the team doing it is working on a revolutionary take on Need for Speed." There's no word on when the game will be released.
