Criterion announced that post-launch content for Need for Speed Unbound's second year will aim to deliver the ultimate Need for Speed experience in one game, and player feedback and gameplay will be crucial in determining the future of the series.
"We see this year as a year of testing and learning, and we want to find out what works for you," the developer writes. Unbound's long online service commitment allows us to build on the feedback we're gathering in a variety of ways. We work closely with a community of dedicated players; A great group of Need for Speed influencers, core members of the fan community, and players to find out what they're up for.
We'll be increasing the amount of information we get from games to better understand what's right for you through gameplay data, and we're going to prove that we hear you and care about your feedback. We want to let you know what we have heard and what is possible and impossible."
In September of last year, it was announced that Criterion Games would once again support the Battlefield series, but the studio's core team will continue to focus on the future of Need for Speed games. Earlier this year, the studio's job postings indicated that they were working on a new, open-world version of Need for Speed.
In July, Simon Bailey , who played Captain Jonathan Cross' unnamed wife in 2005's Need for Speed: Most Wanted, posted on his Twitter and Instagram accounts that a remake of the game was in development for release in 2024. However, he quickly deleted these posts.
Currently, Need for Speed Unbound is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X platforms Xbox Series S and PC can be experienced. Subscribers of the extra level and premium service of PlayStation Plus have been able to experience this game without paying any fees since yesterday.
