Criterion working on a new Need for Speed
Need for Speed: Undercover was nothing short of a flop but EA hopes to regain the community’s loyalty to the brand with Need for Speed Shift and Need for Speed Nitro. However, if these games still don’t prove to be a success EA has a little secret up their sleeves; Criterion Games.

There’s no word on when this Criterion developed Need for Speed will come out but lets hope they do a better job than previous developers because the franchise really needs it.
