Unfortunately, the future of the franchise seems to be in the air. The company recently announced its plan to delay the next Need for Speed game so that Criterion Games can help with the development of Battlefield 6. What this means is that the next game gets some extra time, and that's always good for a game.
Most Wanted was incredibly bold for its time, boasting cutting-edge visuals, intense cop chases, and an overall personality and charm that subsequent entries lacked. The original Need for Speed Most Wanted was the best-selling game in the franchise in 2015, and that hasn't likely changed much.
