The 2005 original version of Need for Speed: Most Wanted is easily one of the most popular in the series, and it turns out a remake of it isn’t entirely impossible.
Over the course of the thirty years the series has been around for now, there’s definitely a case to be made that 2005’s Need for Speed: Most Wanted is the best one of the bunch.
So it seems like right now your best bet is to hope EA does give you a remake of Most Wanted, though whether that’s the right choice for the series is anyone’s guess.
The most recent release was 2022’s Need for Speed Unbound, which was generally received well, but seemingly did quite poorly compared to its predecessor Heat.
