Criterion, the renowned studio behind the Burnout series and recent Need for Speed titles, has rebranded as Criterion: A Battlefield Studio. This shift in focus marks a significant change for the studio, which will now be dedicated to supporting EA's Battlefield series.

While this rebranding may seem like the end of Criterion's involvement in other projects, the studio hasn't entirely ruled out returning to its roots. In fact, Criterion has hinted that it may revisit its beloved Need for Speed franchise in the future.
