"Never say never": Criterion aren't ruling out a return to Need For Speed, but Battlefield is their only focus for now

Last week, to mark its 30th anniversary, EA rebranded Criterion as Criterion: A Battlefield Studio. The storied studio that created Burnout and in recent years has shepherded the Need For Speed series, as well as working on the rebooted Star Wars: Battlefront , will become just one of the four studios supporting EA's fresh Battlefield push. This isn't the first time Criterion have contributed to Battlefield, the Guildford studio have been involved since 2015's Battlefield 1 , but the rebranding marks an end to working on other projects.
