What’s Next for Need for Speed this Year?

EA and Ghost Games have been working under the hood on a new Need for Speed game coming later this year. While they aren’t giving away the exact details yet, today they revealed that the new game will build upon the core gameplay brand pillars established with the 2015 reboot. Think customization, think cops and a new drivable world, both on the tarmac and on dirt.

The team at Ghost is not stopping there. They also want to address fan feedback and take one of the biggest points of discussion from the previous game head on – the always online feature. They confirmed now that this year’s Need for Speed will have a single player experience completely offline, and yes that means players will be able to pause the game.

EA and Ghost Games will be sharing even more about the game when EA Play rolls around. For a taste of the changes announced today, check out the full blog here.
