Alex Ward, a Creative Director at Criterior has clarified the recent rumors that suggested the company is making a reboot of Need For Speed: Underground. Â Rumors which were set in motion by EGM earlier today, after an alleged logo appeared on the site, have been deemed fake by the creative.
“Totally fake. Â Remakes and reboots? Â #movedon.” said Ward via Twitter.
While this rumor has been confirmed to be false, that doesn’t necessarily mean that Criterion isn’t working on something. Â Earlier this week, resumes were dug up from the LinkedIn profiles of two Criterion developers which pointed to a new game in the works, apparently it is not Need For Speed: Underground.
Hopefully the crack racing team at Criterion will offer a next-gen experience near launch of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox 720. Â Besides, Criterion, if you’re going to make a reboot, let’s try to keep it in the Burn Out family, Ok?
