According to a recent post from actor Simone Bailly, who worked as a voice actor in the original Need for Speed: Most Wanted game, a remake of the game is currently in development and will launch sometime in 2024. The now deleted post also tagged Criterion Games, which took over Need for Speed development back in 2020. Need for Speed: Most Wanted launched on November 15, 2005 for PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, Nintendo DS, PC, Game Boy Advance and Xbox 360. A remake has not been announced by Electronic Arts.
