Ghost Games general manager Marcus Nilsson has posted an open letter confirming that we won’t see a new Need for Speed game this year, but assuring fans that the next entry in the series is ”already deep in development”.
“We are already deep in development on our next game,” writes Nilsson, ”and want to make this promise to you: we will listen to you. We’re going to give you the game you’ve been asking for. It will be the game you deserve, but to do that will take us some time. We’ve made the decision to not release a Need for Speed in 2014, so we can work towards a highly innovative Need for Speed in 2015. An experience built on a foundation we know you’ll greatly look forward to.”
Nilsson finished by promising regular updates on the studio’s progress, and assured fans that their feedback and input would be highly valued. “From now on, you’ll be hearing from us regularly because we need your help to shape the future of Need for Speed. We want your input on future gameplay and features we know you’re passionate about. We will keep innovating, always making sure to continue the celebration of cars and the joy they bring.”
