According to the official Need For Speed Twitter account, Electronic Art’sย newย upcoming racing gameย will require an online connection. This was confirmed after a user voiced his concernsย at the possibility of the game requiring players to be online at all times.

 

@DeanRheims NFS will require an online connection, but the benefits are nice. More variety and a more rewarding experience with friends.

The team later expanded upon this statement by explaining thatย the new Need for Speedย will require an online connection even for single player, reason being that it allows them to “push the boundaries of the experience” that theyย can deliver. This decision was based upon theย seamless online mode that was featured inย Need For Speed Rivals.ย Despite this, players are not forced toย play with friends in single player.

As expected the response to this announcement has not been very positive, with many users pointing out the mess that was SimCity‘s launch, and the possibility of a server shutdown rendering the game unplayable, to which the team replied:

NFS has an online requirement. Typically servers stay up until the number of players drops below 1%

 

Need for Speed

 

Need for Speed is currently being developedย by Ghost Games, and is planned for release on theย PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC laterย this year. The new game will be a “full reboot” of the series, with huge focus on aย “nocturnal, urban, car culture environment.”

More news will be announced at thisย years E3.
