Since 2006, I've been an ardent fan of the racing game franchises Need for Speed and Burnout. These games have offered countless fans, including myself, thrilling experiences beyond compare. Whether it was tearing down the streets in iconic cars and engaging the cops or pulling off insane stunts and crashes, these games brought excitement to our screens and joy to our lives. Yet, over the past years, we have seen these beloved series slowly fade into obscurity. The lack of new titles resulted directly from Criterion Games' departure from developing for them, as they shifted focus entirely to the Battlefield series. Sadly, studios like Ghost Games and EA Black Box have also shut down, leaving both Need for Speed and Burnout without anyone to carry on their legacy.

Despite the fervent fanbase, EA has chosen to prioritize other ventures over these two legendary racing franchises. This decision has left us, the dedicated fans, in a state of disappointment and longing for the return of our cherished games.

The Latest NFS Game is NFS Unbound (2022) and the latest Burnout game is Burnout Paradise Remastered (2018)

As fans, we believe there is still immense potential and an audience eager for new entries in these series. We understand that the gaming industry is competitive and projects are chosen for their profitability, but Need for Speed and Burnout are more than just games; they represent a vital part of gaming history and culture. By revitalizing these franchises, EA could not only please long-standing fans but also introduce a whole new generation to the exhilaration of high-speed racing gameplay.

The solution is clear: EA should reassess its current priorities and invest in a team that can revive and innovate the Need for Speed and Burnout franchises, either that EA need to continue funding for both NFS and Burnout, or give it to an another company to pick up the pieces that EA has did to the franchises just like Mass Effect. With the right focus and resources, both series can return to their former glory and capture the hearts of gamers and fans worldwide.
