Need for Speed is one of the most popular game franchises of all time. With several game titles, this franchise entertained fans for over a decade. However, rumors suggested that Need for Speed might release another installment in their main franchise. Surely, this news brought forth many speculations among fans. It might happen also because Need for Speed remained a favorite choice for racing game lovers. 

Previously, this franchise brought their latest game in 2022 December under the team of Criterion Games. However, a new job posting started a new rumor that this franchise might be brewing some bigger news for fans in the coming year as well. 

Is Need for Speed thinking of a brand-new game?

The answer is absolutely yes. Although the company is yet to speak anything officially to the public, a job posting at Criterion Studio sparked rumors among fans. This job posting asked for a talented World Artist to join this team of brilliants. The job description seemed more interesting as it said how the company is focusing to take racing games to the next level in the NFS franchise. This is after NFS Unbound got favorable reception from fans. However, the team’s actual intentions are still a mystery to us. Criterion Studio is currently developing a brand-new open-world set-up for their upcoming project. 

Although, as fans, we didn’t receive many details, it seemed that the company would save their interesting aspects later for the title. Even if the fans didn’t get a concrete thumbs up, this job posting surely ignited a lot of happiness among the public. 

Fans seemed excited with the news of a new NFS title 

This news hit the public when an NFS fan shared it with his community through his Reddit account- “I got this from Game Rant, so credit goes to them. They didn’t link their source, so I started questioning the validity of the article until I looked into it. There actually is a job listing under Criterion Games over on LinkedIn.” It seemed that this person took some extra effort to verify Gameranx‘s source and found the job posting on LinkedIn.
