Need for Speed is effectively on hold while Criterion musters entirely around Battlefield, but EA assures players the racer will return in ‘new and interesting ways’

Criterion Games has shifted its focus entirely to EA's upcoming Battlefield project, with a significant portion of its workforce redirected since September 2023. A smaller group remains dedicated to supporting Need for Speed Unbound, but live-service support for the game will be discontinued. EA plans to revitalize the Need for Speed franchise in the future, based on community feedback. Need for Speed: Unbound has received mixed reactions, earning a 'mixed' rating on Steam from over 36,000 reviews. Additionally, EA is undergoing organizational changes, including downsizing BioWare and refocusing it on the Mass Effect series. Criterion's contributions to Battlefield were recently showcased in a brief gameplay reveal.

Splitgate 2’s first gameplay is here, and yep, adding classes changes everything

Splitgate 2 features a gameplay reveal showcasing a mix of arena shooter mechanics and portal technology. The game introduces three distinct classes, moving away from the original's weapon pickup system to a more dynamic loadout system. It includes an accelerated movement pace and a new sliding mechanic, enhancing combat encounters. Players can utilize various abilities and utility powers, such as deployable shields and self-boosting stims. Splitgate: Arena Warfare, originally released in 2019, saw a resurgence in 2021, leading to the decision to halt its development in 2022 to focus on Splitgate 2. 1047 Games CEO Ian Proulx described Splitgate 2 as a revolutionary step forward for competitive shooters. Additional information is available on its official website and on Epic and Steam stores.

The gameplay reveal for Dragon Age: The Veilguard disappointed fans, with many feeling that the game is becoming more like Mass Effect rather than the Dragon Age experience they were hoping for. The game lacks the depth and character development that made the series beloved, leading some fans to consider exploring other RPG options like Baldur's Gate 3.
