New Need for Speed Announced, Will Be Released Later This Year

EA has revealed on its official forums today that there will be a new Need for Speed heading to consoles later this year, but sadly it won't be making an appearance at E3.

The dev team behind Need for Speed took to the official forums to write a post about how this is a special year for the long-running racing franchise with it being its 25th anniversary. The post then goes on to say that the past was good fun and what not, but they're looking towards the future with what they've got currently in development.

"Well, as you can imagine, we’re in the business of making games, and Need for Speed games at that. You can also probably guess where this is going, but for those who haven’t– a new Need for Speed game will be releasing later in 2019!" wrote Ben Walke on the forums.

Sadly though when it comes to E3, which is in a mere few weeks, fans might be a little disappointed to learn that the next Need for Speed game will not be making an appearance there. Walke bluntly wrote, "Will we be doing anything in June? No. It’s as simple as that."

But nevertheless, fans can still look forward to a new Need for Speed game debuting sometime later this year for consoles. It's only a matter of time until we'll learn more about it, until then though you can check out the full post on the official EA forums here to see what else the team had to say.

  • plenty of customisation please, ala NFS underground, and i might return from forza horizon then
  • Who cares NFS is 6 feet under since at least 2012, nobody wants to play a racing game with stupid mechanics like rubberbanding 2000mph Bugatti coming from the back just to make it a artificial close win... EA is done
  • They need to let it die with dignity (if it has any left?) they clearly can't make them anymore.
  • I think Payback was a step in the right direction but it’s strange they haven’t shown anything yet from the new one.
  • I hope Modern Warfare is awesome. They should stop making NFS games. They haven't been good since Underground 2.
  • I'd be interested if they turned off rubberbanding. If they dont then let it die already
  • The only racing games I’m interested in are Burnout, Blur, and Split/Second
  • At least in my opinion they should return to the very beginning. Well designed tracks in exotic locations instead of boring open worlds, luxary cars instead of low class tuning cars, working game mechanics instead of a few cover up tuning features, and a constant framerate would also be great. Hot Pursuit 1 and 2 (the originals), NFS2 and NFS4, they should be the direction to go.
  • If it is like NFS shift then I am in. If it is like the others, then no.
  • ea destroys all their own games so this game is already dead.
  • I tell ya I'm STILL pissed about that need for speed "speed list" Gold plated title update achievement. That was an insult. And they refused to fix it.
