The popular American gaming giant Electronic Arts are likely to release a brand new installment in Need for Speed series in a couple of months. But the one thing that has upset the fans is the development of this game was paused because the devs at Criterion Games needed to work on the recent 2021 release Battlefield 2042. In fact, this upcoming game’s development was given a break during the summer of the year 2021 because of Battlefield 2042.

The fans are disappointed with how Battlefield 2042 took time away Need for Speed, and BF2042 didn’t even turn out to be a huge success in terms of performance.

A popular industry insider has shared some information on Twitter. According to this personality, the maker of this brand new upcoming racing game is the British-based game developers Criterion Games. Moreover, this upcoming Need for Speed game is expected to release in the month of September or October 2022.
