If you're worried about the next Need for Speed game, don't be.

More than a year after Electronic Arts delayed the racing sim to work on Battlefield 2042, EA is doubling down on its efforts - literally.

In addition to Criterion Games, Codemasters' Cheshire studio will also lend a helping hand for future Need for Speed projects, as per GamesIndustry.biz. The merge will result in a larger team that will hopefully result in a resurgence of the fan-favorite franchise. In the meantime, Codemasters will continue to operate its other offices that will work on other upcoming games like F1 22, among others.

While the Cheshire studio isn't Codemasters' main studio, it has led the development of a handful of notable games over the years. The former Sony Evolution Studios worked on Dirt 5 in 2020, which many consider one of the best games on the PS5 and Xbox Series S/X.
