The Next Need for Speed Game...

Need for Speed 2024? 2025? 2026? When is it coming and what can we expect to see?

Imo Need For Speed needs to go full Carbon/MW again, bring back a serious campaign with live action cutscenes. Aggressive cops and set pieces to break chases, break the world in different pieces and have different crews run different neighborhoods and bring boss back canyon races. Also add crew building in the campaign so we can build our own crews with different types of racers like Drifters, Tuners etc.

It should be featuring cars that aren’t hidden behind the speed pass, and they should also feature a used car dealership with cheaper/beaten up cars to repair. Aswell as adding more economy friendly cars at a lower price so then nobody will be stuck in a Vw beetle. (Nissan Sentra, Honda Accord wagon, Honda del sol, Ford Focus, Peugeot 206, renault Clio, dodge stealth, Suzuki cappuccino, bmw 330i, etc.)

TBH they gotta remove the 240mph limit man, it gets really tiring hitting 240

I somehow read NFS 2028 On The Thumbnail Somehow

[krbi]

I think Criterion & EA should do the Treyarch approach and just work on it for a good amount of 2-3 years.
2026 or 2027 for the next entry.

[westnekon]

I don't what a next NFS, it's too early for that yet.
I want Criterion to deliver what they said they would.

Grippy physics like MW 2005 and Carbon, but with with different suspension setups for drifting, drag, etc.

[frederikparsbergjrgensen]

One thing I've been begging for a long time and really want from the next Need For speed title is, more iconic starter cars. For example Peugeot 206, Toyota Celica T23 (7th gen) and Volkswagen Golf IV (MK4)

[gltch]

don't be mad but listen... it's better that its cancelled in order to make unbound even better with a 3 year of updates

[jaydenurriola]

I'm really proud of how criterion is taking this game. Never in my life have I seen criterion care so much about need for speed and give actual constant updates and more things to work for. A few things I'd like to see though would be some more body kit options especially for Porsche, more BMWs, And If possible, a map extension

[dond]

Do you remember in GTA V where you can switch between characters in the open world? That's what I’d love to see in NEED FOR SPEED: one Underground character and one Police character. For example, when you switch to the Police character there is a little sequence, your car is parked next to a donut shop, and your character is eating a donut. Whenever you switch to the Underground character, you spawnin in from the top of the map just like in GTA V and ur Character is standing next to ur car at a car meet. Another thing id love to see is Weather and Day Night has to be one Cycle and not switch Day and Night in ur Garage.

if they mess BF up again i feel like its gonna just kill it for me. but if they let criterion just cook, i feel the next NFS will be wild

[mxhxsh]

Just give us the Blacklists again. We need rivals that get tougher with each member.

[RudigerRammel-eqlh]

It will be probably 2025 tbh... i dont get this gta 6 take all the time cuz afaik it gets released in the first months of the year and nfs always released in nov most of the time... so its plenty of time between the games

All I want for the next NFS:
- better handling and car physics
- more car customization - interior customization (seats - customizing the factory seats and also have 1 aftermarket option - could be generic idc; customizing the factory steering wheel and also have 1 aftermarket option - could be generic idc)
- Mainly NFS Underground 1 & 2 vibes and race styles but sprinkle a little bit of NFS Most Wanted 2005 vibe on top - like the cherry on top of the big cake; the style of the characters should be like in NFS MW 2005; also a little bit of Hot Pursuit action here and there would be cool - like for example when you have some heist missions here and there between races where you are paid to steal a unique car (there was something like that in NFS Payback and it was amazing) - go to a specific location on the map/GPS find the car, steal it and deliver the car to a specific destination and the cops come and you have to escape from them and also deliver the car in time in order to impress that man that pays you so that you get more jobs like that sometimes in between races. For example one unique mission could be one where you are paid to find and steal the M3 GTR from MW 2005 and you will have a surprise - Razor comes as well to find the car (he is paid as well - that man paid both you and Razor to test you and see who is better for future heist missions) and it will be like a race - who gets to the destination first to steal the car and when you got it the cop from NFS MW 2005 comes after you and you have to escape and one of the girls (the one with the RX-8 from MW 2005 or the one with the Ford GT from Carbon comes and helps you). Basically I want NFS Underground (day and night gameplay) but with cops and with MW 2005 type of characters and story/progression.
- I want legendary characters returning back: the police officer from MW 2005, Razor, Darius and also the girl with the Mazda RX-8 from MW 2005 or the girl with the Ford GT from NFS Carbon. Real characters please!!
- Drag races like in NFS Underground 2 and drift races, events like there are in The Crew Motorfest on those twisty mountains roads - Touge events
- I would like to see a dedicated Tuning Shop/Customization Shop similar to a real life Hamann Motorsport or ABT tuner shop or a West Coast Customs or RDBLA style of custom auto shop where you go to customize your cars and upgrade there performance - I would like to see there a few aftermarket wheels on display, Brembo brake calipers, custom seats, exhaust system, and those paint samples. The garage should be just for storage.
- I don't like those cartoon type effects on the cars - but everybody has it's own tastes, don't judge me.
Hopefully the people that are working on this game will read my comment! :))

20 year anniversary for most wanted next year. How do we not get a remake or remaster at the very minimum

[Guspr]

To people of Criterion, Please just do the Most Wanted 2 concept that was scrapped for MW2012, it would be perfect.

[fusion_sixx]

i want undercover cops during races just like the mw'05 intro at first no one thought that corvette was an actual cop. Amaze me! Make me suffer my way to the end of the race where my main opponent flash those sirens and bump me behind so i know im gonna get chased after that race!

There was never going to be a Need for Speed 2024. The earliest we are expecting to see the next mainline NFS is Q4 2025 IAW EA's release schedule and their history of projected earnings.

What I am hearing as of right now is that Criterion was focusing their efforts on building the next NFS from the ground up. This doesn't nessescarily mean a new engine, but it most likely won't be another NFS 2015 derivative.

As if right now, from what I have heard, the direction for the game has not been fully decided on. It's primarily core game mechanics that are receiving much needed reworks. Of course, this is all watercooler talk with absolutely nothing concrete to back it up, but it aligns a lot with what we should expect with Criterion retaking the reigns of the franchise.

We know for a fact that when Ghost Games was closed down, EA scrambled to put another team on the franchise and chose hand it back to Criterion given thier experience with the franchise prior, and what Criterion was handed didnt at all align with thier vision for the franchise.

They threw a map together and a rough story, re-used almost everything from Heat, and made a lot of tweaks, and then finalized the story, hired talent, and worked on art direction.

Do not expect the next NFS to be anything like Unbound. Unbound is the last real game in the Ghost era. I say this because the games foundation was entirely based on Ghosts work.

Theres not much more to say other than this. But we will not see another mainline NFS game until Q4 of 2025 AT THE EARLIEST. This is the closest you will get to hearing it from the horses mouth until the official announcement of the next game.

NFS franchise has gotten to the point where no matter what they do, people still won't be happy. If they go back to the past, nobody cares until it's too late. If they try something new, people complain.
