In mid-December 2022, amid Need for Speed Unbound’s failure, five key developers immediately left Criterion Games, including executives who had been with the company for over 20 years.
On March 16, it was announced that all five of them have founded studio Fuse Games, which will develop AAA titles for PC and consoles. Whether it will be a Burnout or Need for Speed style race is unknown. The development of the debut game has already started.
What is it about:
-
Matt Webster is Vice President and General Manager of Critetion, has been with the company for over 23 years and has been with EA since 1990.
