Criterion Shoots Down Rumours About Need For Speed: Underground Reboot

In an article by Gamestop UK, rumours circulating a potential reboot of the legendary Need for Speed series has been thrown out of the window.

The original speculation came from EGMNow as they posted up an article showing the potentially new logo to be used for the game. In an update to this article it was shown that this logo was a fake and the studio has no intentions of rebooting the series.

Criterion Creative Director, Alex Ward, tweeted these following two statements on the NFS Reboot:
Totally fake. Remakes and Reboots? #movedon

May as well add this. Sequels.Reboots. Remakes. Been there. Done that.
