Need for Speed developer Criterion to focus on Battlefield (www.eurogamer.net)

Criterion, the British studio behind recent Need for Speed titles and the classic Burnout series, will now focus the majority of its efforts on EA's Battlefield shooter franchise.

A smaller "core group" within Criterion will continue on with Need for Speed, meanwhile.

Criterion has of course worked on Battlefield before, and contributed bits to DICE's Battlefield V and Battlefield 2042 (it also helped out on Star Wars Battlefront 2). The talented team will now turn its efforts back to improving 2042, and to the future of the Battlefield franchise overall.

Again? This is like CoD taking up all the air over at Activision with every studio playing support over there every year. What is DICE doing?

DICE, with the current management, is not able to deliver a proper Battlefield game.

I hope that EA is not too much at fault either, else it won't be much different with another studio.
