Need for Speed™ Heat News

With Need for Speed devs working on Battlefield, EA's beloved car culture site Speedhunters seems to have shut off its engine

If you've played a Need For Speed game in the last decade, odds are you've seen plenty of cars with Speedhunters stickers slapped somewhere amid whatever delightfully tacky livery their driver's decided to rock. Now, though, it looks like the EA-owned car culture site has gone dormant, with reports claiming it might have been shut down.

This news comes as development of NFS at EA is on a hiatus, with devs at Criterion having been drafted in to help deliver the next Battlefield, though exec Vince Zampella has hinted that there are still plans for the racing series going forwards.

Vol. 7: Drift & Drag

Discover new feels for classic skills in NFS Unbound Vol. 7: Drift & Drag* (inspired by NFS Underground), as we continue on the journey to deliver the ultimate NFS experience in one place for the first time.

New Drift mode comes with improved handling for Drift builds, while Drag mode revives manual gear shifting and lane switching skills. The League, a revamped progression system that’s intended to enrich the single player experience in Free Roam, has players challenging new Rival Racers throughout the volume in head-to-head competition to win their cars.
