EGMNOW - Recent rumblings suggest Criterion Games may be developing a reboot of Need for Speed: Underground, and information shared by anonymous sources both give supposed details about the game, as well as its work-in-progress logo.
EA just hosted its quarterly financial conference call, and its executives have been asked to comment about the recent price hikes for games.
Today, Electronic Arts announced its financial results for the fourth quarter of its fiscal year 2025, alongside the full year.
Split Fiction has sold nearly 4 million copies, and the next battlefield is confirmed for a release by March 2026 with a reveal this Summer.
In addition to the roughly 100 job cuts IGN reported earlier today at Respawn Entertainment, EA has made wider cuts across its organization today, impacting around 300 individuals total including those already reported at Respawn.
Absolutely insane. Man I'm hope they land on their feet EA needs to get the shit together badly....
This is why this industry has slow releases and none compelling games.
Why would anyone willingly work in the VG industry or specifically for one of these globocorp organizations that put you in constant fear of losing your livelihood based on terrible choices made by idiotic management, not the people with talent making the actual games?
Surprise , not
Don't be surprised when there's no car customization in this reboot either.
Criterion has a record for saying no to car customization.
what? the series didn't need a reboot. they should've just continued to Underground 3
I'm sure they'll remove everything that made Underground so good. Just like Most Wanted. Criterion aren't bothered, unless it's a Burnout title. That's when they seem serious.
Should just proceed to UG3. And enhance what made the others great.
Who we kidding..
RIP true Need for Speed. Criterion killed the games with their burnout style.
Car modification culture is the biggest load of nonsense ever, but the Need for Speed Underground games were undeniably fun.
