Hello, fellow Need for Speed fans!
I’m starting this petition to save the Need for Speed series, which was a huge part of my childhood. Currently, Criterion Games is no longer working on the franchise because they have been reassigned to help with Battlefield titles.
The 2023 leak: Voice actress Simone Bailly (who played Sergeant Cross’s partner in the original) mentioned in a since-deleted social media post that a remake was planned for 2024. This fueled speculation, but nothing further has been posted, and there has been no confirmation as to whether this beloved series will actually return nobody knows yet. I was excited about it myself, but looking at how EA operates and as I’ve noted in relation to another petition it’s clear that EA employees are not treated well.
Since EA was acquired by the Saudi Arabian state fund PIF, the company despite the takeover carries debts amounting to 20 billion dollars.
Need for Speed should once again reflect the core of the game:
1. Extensive customization something fans really loved along with great street racing, drifts, drag races, circuit races, sprints, StreetX, police chases, and so on.
2. The graphics need an overhaul, and there are bugs, glitches, and other nasty issues that could disrupt the gaming experience; therefore, the best approach would be a full-blown remake or remaster.
A quick disclaimer: there are some hobbyist developers currently working on an *Underground 2* project using Unreal Engine 5. While it is already possible to play the game online on PC, we need the game to be available on both consoles and PC.
3. Fair and transparent monetization: We demand the removal of pay-to-win elements, aggressive microtransactions, and opaque loot box systems, so that game progress is once again determined exclusively through gameplay.
4. Angesichts der aktuellen Situation fordern wir EA dazu auf, die Rechte an ein Studio zu verkaufen, das in der Lage ist, mit diesen Kernelementen zu arbeiten.
To those who might see this petition: there is a politician in Canada who advocates for video games and is currently involved with the *Mass Effect* series. If this petition gains a large number of supporters, then *Need for Speed* might stand a chance.
