NEED for Speed Unbound surprised players when it was announced in early October, just two months before launch.
Releasing on December 2, the October announcement was the first official reveal of the game’s existence.
While rumours had persisted that a Need for Speed game was in development, no one at the studio had confirmed that the game was being worked on.
GLHF spoke with Need for Speed Unbound’s creative director, Kieran Crimmins, on why the company waited so long to tell players that a new Need for Speed game was inbound.
Crimmins told us that it was the marketing department’s decision to not announce the game until just two months before launch.
