New Need for Speed coming in 2017

Ghost Games has announced it’s working on a new Need for Speed game that’s due for release next year, while it’s also winding down work on last year’s reboot of EA’s long-running racing franchise.

Last year’s Need for Speed wasn’t quite a successful reboot for the series, its open world racing feeling a little flat compared to Criterion’s excellent run with Hot Pursuit and Most Wanted, and indeed Ghost Games’ debut with Rivals.

Speedlists, a series of multiplayer playlists that were introduced towards the end of last month, are set to be the last significant free update for Need for Speed as Ghost Games turns its attention towards next year’s game.
