Racing game fans may have disappointing news to digest. New reports claim that Criterion Games has cancelled plans for future Need for Speed and Burnout titles to focus entirely on the Battlefield franchise.
According to the reports, the studio will dedicate its development resources to supporting future Battlefield games. If true, this would mark a major shift for a team that has played a key role in some of the most popular racing games of the past two decades.
Criterion is best known for its work on the Burnout series and several Need for Speed entries. Both franchises have built loyal fan bases over the years, making the reported decision a disappointing one for players hoping to see new racing titles.
While the reports have sparked discussion across the gaming community, fans should wait for official confirmation before treating the news as final. For now, it appears that Criterion’s future will be closely tied to the next chapter of the Battlefield franchise.
