The next Need for Speed is delayed so Criterion can work on Battlefield 6 instead

Electronic Arts announced in February 2020 that after seven years in the hands of developer Ghost Games, the Need for Speed series was being moved back to Criterion, which would take the series “into the next generation.” During EA’s November 2020 earnings call, the company said that the new game would be released sometime during its 2022 fiscal year, putting it somewhere between April 1, 2021, and the same date in 2022.

That situation has now changed, however, as chief studio officer Laura Miele told Polygon that the next Need for Speed has been delayed by a year, and that Criterion has been moved to support the development of Battlefield 6, which has apparently been slowed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
