Next Need for Speed Development Already Underway at Ghost Games

According to a job listing on EA's website Ghost Games has been developing the next installment in the Need for Speed franchise for the past several months. 

The post, which was created on October 29th, states: 

"Ghost Games is currently developing Need for Speed Rivals for both current and next generation gaming consoles and has already begun work on future iterations of the franchise."

It was announced earlier this year that Ghost Games had taken over the Need for Speed series from Criterion and released Need for Speed: Rivals in November for PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.

In October, Ghost's creative director Craig Sullivan told VideoGamer that:

"The future is obviously Need For Speed because Ghost are picking up the Need For Speed banner, but that can mean many different things.

"We've done many different things at Criterion and Ghost in the past. When we finished Burnout Paradise we did a year of Paradise. We could stop and wait a few years and do another game or we could do another game sooner. Or we could do a service or we could do tablet stuff. The fact is, there are lots of different things we can do and we will make the decision on exactly what that's going to be once this game is done."

It's unclear if the next Need for Speed will be released in 2014.
