A lone screenshot has appeared on the Need for Speed Facebook page of one cop car with a ‘Pursuit’ label on the side and a caption that reads, “Have no rules, show no mercy.” Based on what the car has been labeled as, it’d be hard to imagine this as anything other than a Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit title.
In a blog post on EA’s website, EA Labels President Frank Gibeau named the Need for Speed series as one of the next-gen titles that will make an appearance at E3.
“Our E3 briefing “The Download: EA 2013 Preview” will be a showcase of next-generation games like Battlefield 4, Need For Speed, a full range of EA SPORTS games and a first look at our plans for the Star Wars partnership with Disney. Tune in on Monday, June 10 at 1pm PT on Spike TV or at www.ea.com/e3 to experience it all. I’m eager to your reaction in the comments and the forums, Facebook and Twitter.”
The last Need for Speed title was Need for Speed: Most Wanted; a 2012 remake of the EA Black Box title of the same name, but this time developed by Criterion. Prior to that, Criterion also did 2010’s Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit.
