John Riccitiello has unveiled the next Need for Speed game and confessed to "torturing" developers working on previous instalments in the series.

 

Need for Speed Undercover, as the game is titled, will have been in development for considerably longer than its predecessors by the time it's released later this year.

 

Speaking in an investors meeting, Riccitiello confirmed that the NFS team worked on 12-month development cycles for eight years in a row before bosses took pity on them.

 

"Last summer we added head count and split the team in two, so now there are two teams on a 24 month cycle," Riccitiello stated.

 

"We were torturing a very talented group of people up in Vancouver, which makes it harder to be as innovative every year. So, I think we are going to get better from here."

 

Riccitiello is confident Need for Speed Undercover will "a much better game" than the previous instalment in the series, thanks in part to a richer storyline. Doesn't sound like he was too impressed with Need for Speed Pro Street, which came out last November.

 

"I thought it was an okay game, in terms of gameplay. It's not good," Riccitiello observed. He's not wrong.

 

"But who wanted Pro Street? It was a sort of made up, put numbers on the side of your car and pretend to drive your Ferrari where? Or your Porsche where?"

 

Undercover, according to Riccitiello, is instead taking cues from action films. "For those of you who ever saw movies like The Transporter - it's sort of a cult classic among people with a B-movie mentality, which fits me perfectly," he said.

 

"I liked it. I apologise. For those of you with no taste, and you liked it too, we can go have a Schlitz after this." Love to.

 

There's no word on which platforms Need for Speed Undercover is in development for, but chances are it's more than one. Or eight.

With all these new games knocking on our doors we need to buy new pcs (those who have 2+ years) very fast. Even if it will be a total disaster we will play it and test it for shure. I hope they won't disapoint us.

    • Hello! We are Genesis, small team that works on new Lineage 2 project. Our goal with this project is to create a fresh new place to play — built around real community feedback, with no aggressive pay-to-win donations and with carefully thought-out quality-of-life improvements, balance changes etc. We believe that even tho we all love this game, everyone has at least one or two things they would like to change in the game to make it more enjoyable. Thats why we want the comunity feedback to shape our server. Main information about the server: • Interlude Classic version • Rates: EXP x4 SP x2 Loot x2, Spoil x2 (not set in stone, might be changed) • Local & Server-Side Dualbox Protection • Complete, Clear Website with Integrated Account Panel (Game account creation, direct communication with support, bug reporting, voting and reward system) • Launcher – External Game Login System: manage all your accounts inside the launcher, “Play” button logs you directly into the game server Here are list of few changes we already added/decided to add to the server: • Reworked Client to fit interlude Era with upgraded Classic Ui • Custom Antibot system • Custom AntiDualBox System • Offline shops • Offline shop with buffs (available only in towns) • Mass Sweeper added to the game • Newbie buffs available all the way to lvl 76 (nothing crazy, but its free) • Slight balance change to Destroyer damage with Polearm and Cancel spell from SPS • PvP zones on every Epic spawn spot • Overbuffing blocked • And more! Since we put big focus on community feedback and suggestions, we are looking for people for our internal tests, that will discuss whether current changes „fit” into the game and maybe suggest some changes themselves. If what you’ve just read sounds interesting to you, if you want to help creating server fitted for you, join our server Discord. Help us to understand what Lineage 2 players in 2026 actually expect and need — so we can meet those expectations and avoid becoming just another server that dies a natural death.     Even if you’re not interested in playing right now, but you are a long-time Lineage 2 player, feel free to join our community. We would greatly appreciate your experience and feedback to help us improve and develop our project.
