Because of the low sales of Most Wanted on the Wii U and PlayStation Vita, Need for Speed Rivals was not developed for those platforms. On 31 January 2013, on EA's financial result report of Q3 2013, while sales figures weren't released, it was mentioned Most Wanted outperformed 2011's Need for Speed: The Run. Most Wanted was the fifth-best selling game in the United Kingdom in the week of its release, the week's fourth highest new entry. However, these figures do not take into account the number of PC units sold, nor sales through digital distribution. Īccording to NPD Group, Most Wanted was the seventh-best selling game in the U.S. On 8 April 2012, South African-based online retailer BTGames listed Dead Space 3 and Need for Speed: Most Wanted 2 for pre-order. Sullivan did not provide any further details, except to say the upcoming announcement/s are 'going to be BIG'. On 23 January 2012, Criterion's creative director, Craig Sullivan, said on Twitter that the Guildford-based studio has 'lots to share over the coming months'. However, the developer and what direction the racing series takes in 2012 was not revealed. According to the job listing, the studio was 'looking for talented Cinematic Artists to work on the world’s number one, multi award winning, arcade racing franchise.' According to the listing, players should expect 'entertaining, compelling in-game cinematic action sequences' from the racer, as well as 'intense car action sequences, terrifying jumps, insane crashes and epic car chases.' Earlier in the year, another job advert revealed that Criterion was developing a game with 'believable, open world AI racing drivers.' On 11 January 2012, British retailer Game revealed that EA plans to release Medal of Honor: Warfighter and a new entry in the Need for Speed series later that year, which was shown by EA during a confidential presentation. In November 2011, it was revealed that Criterion Games was developing another Need for Speed game, according to a job advertisement.
