Need for Speed: Shift

Electronic Arts plans to release a sequel to their 2009 racing hit Need for Speed: Shift in early 2011, the publisher revealed in their Q1 financial report released today.

Little (i.e. nothing) is known about Need for Speed: Shift 2 at the moment, other than it shares the same release window as Crytek’s newly delayed Crysis 2, and it will most likely be the sim counterpoint to Criterion Game’s action-packed Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, which is slated for release this fall.

Don't hold your breath, but EA will be holding a press conference during Gamescom in Germany next month, so perhaps more Shift 2 details aren't too far off.

Should the need arise, feel free to E-Mail me your tips, suggestions, and/or personal philosophies, or follow me on Twitter.

Is EA not worried about over saturation of the NFS series? There will be the NFS MMO, hot pursuit and now shift 2 all with in a few months.

YES! I loved the first one, it's a very straight forward sim for players who may be overwhelmed by something like GT or Forza. I think I can point to it and claim that it brought me towards sim racing. I, personally, can't wait for a sequel.

PS-Come on, let's see a Tesla Roadster!
