Electronic Arts COO John Pleasants has revealed that one of the next Need for Speed games will be developed by Criterion Games. The studio is best known for its Burnout franchise and the latest entry – Burnout Paradise – was well known for its vast environment and polished online modes. EA says that it is looking to capitalise on this experience by tasking Criterion with development of an online-centric Need for Speed title.
