The Need For Speed series has had at least one title every year for the past 13 years, a pretty impressive feat honestly, but this year EA has decided to put the game in park while they sort out what they’re going to do for the next game in the series.
CEO Andrew Wilson broke the news earlier this week during an EA conference call with shareholders. “Ghost Games in Gothenburg is working on an innovative new chapter of this storied franchise,” said Wilson. “We’ve planned an extended development window to ensure we’re delivering a high-quality experience for Need for Speed players next year.”
Ghost Games, who developed Need For Speed Rivals, was reported to be hit with significant layoffs and it is believed that the next game in the series was put on hold while restructuring was sorted out.
