The Need For Speed series is pumping the brakes as "Criterion are joining their colleagues working on Battlefield" instead of tuning more cars

Need For Speed Unbound.

There are currently no developers at Criterion working on my favorite racing game series, Need For Speed. Instead, the studio is one of four under EA lending support to Battlefield.

In a statement given to Eurogamer, EA's Battlefield boss Vince Zampella says: "The Need for Speed team at Criterion are joining their colleagues working on Battlefield. As a company, it was important to us to take the last year to listen to our Need for Speed community and use their feedback to create content for Unbound."
