The Need for Speed team is celebrating the franchise’s 30th anniversary with another year of live service content for its most recent release, Unbound.
“Surprise! We’re still here,” developer Criterion Games shared in a new blog post, where it detailed Need for Speed: Unbound’s year two roadmap. “NFS turns 30 this year, and with that huge legacy, we couldn’t stand idle. However, this year will be a bit different from the previous one.”
The studio said it hopes players will make “new memories” with the Need for Speed series this year, but admitted it “can’t build everything everyone wants right now”. What it can do, however, is work with its community to decide what the series should look like in the future.
“Our vision is that through our second year of live service, you can, for the first time, begin to play the ultimate NFS experience in one place. Your feedback and gameplay will help shape the future of this iconic franchise. As you play, we will be listening, observing and reacting to the things you want to see and those you don’t,” Criterion said.
