The popular American gaming giant Electronic Arts are likely to release a brand new installment in Need for Speed series in a couple of months. But the one thing that has upset the fans is the development of this game was paused because the devs at Criterion Games needed to work on the recent 2021 release Battlefield 2042. In fact, this upcoming game’s development was given a break during the summer of the year 2021 because of Battlefield 2042.
The fans are disappointed with how Battlefield 2042 took time away Need for Speed, and BF2042 didn’t even turn out to be a huge success in terms of performance.
A popular industry insider has shared some information on Twitter. According to this personality, the maker of this brand new upcoming racing game is the British-based game developers Criterion Games. Moreover, this upcoming Need for Speed game is expected to release in the month of September or October 2022.

Fans react to the new Need for Speed game being delayed due to Battlefield 2042
When it comes to fans being upset with Battlefield 2042, it’s mainly because of the fact that the game was released before it should’ve been released. Various bugs, glitches, and technical issues plagued the entire game, hampering the gaming experience.
Moreover, Criterion Games working on the development of Battlefield 2042, rather than developing the new NFS game, is something that fans absolutely don’t like because of the aforementioned problems in BF2042.
Tom’s tweet, as always, has been greeted with a lot of attention, as it involves two major names “Battlefield 2042” and “Need for Speed.”
The amount of attention his post received reflects two things. The first one is fans are excited about the upcoming brand new NFS game. And the second one is that fans are upset with the 2021 release, Battlefield 2042.
Let’s have a look at some of the fan reactions to this tweet:
“Time wasted on a trash game.” Harsh response from a fan not happy with BF2042.

Battlefield is no where near their biggest IP. Madden, Fifi, SIMS all have pulled in more than BF.

One fan seems to be temporarily done with EA titles thanks to BF 2042.
Its a sad state of affairs as I won't be purchasing any EA titles for a while. It could get a 10/10, but I'll just wait until it comes to gamepass. No way I'm getting burned again 😂

Man they had so many people from elsewhere work on BF2042 yet it still launched the way it did with lack of content, no single-player campaign, technical glitches galore, and no first season for months.

Funny how they worked on bf yet the jeeps handle so badly
