While we are still awaiting the first information on Need For Speed 2022 it’s a little one that was announced this weekend. Indeed, Criterion Games merges with one of the Codemasters studios which is none other than Evolution, the creators of MotorStorm and DriveClub!
Codemasters Cheshire devient Criterion Cheshire pour terminer Need For Speed 2022 !
If the next Need For Speed was mentioned in 2020 during EA Play before disappearing since. Obviously the game was a year late (thanks to the COVID) in its development. The latter seems to speed up and precipitate certain things. Thereby, Codemasters Cheshire just merged with Criterion. The creators of Burnout, absent from a Need For Speed since 2013, now have a second studio in the UK. If the name of the Codemasters studio means nothing to you, its original name should speak to you more. Indeed, it is Evolution Studios, the creators of MotorStorm on Playstation 3 and DriveClub on Playstation 4!
Electronic Arts and Criterion therefore offer themselves a major asset in the design of the next Need For Speed but above all of future games… including Burnout ? It is true that a return of the series has been hoped for by many players for more than 10 years now! Case to follow. In the meantime, all eyes are on the next one Need For Speed scheduled for the end of the year. According to the latest rumors the game would be “photorealistic”, would take place in an “open world” in Chicago and would abandon the PS4 and Xbox One!
