Need for Speedis probably themost popular franchise by EA afterBattlefieldthat has been running for decades with a stable fanbase. About the 2005 game, fans have been asking for a remake for a long time, and in 2023 a rumor started spreading that EA was going to release the remake in 2024 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the franchise. Well, unfortunately, that didn’t come true.
It was indeed disappointing for the hardcore fans. However, the heartbroken gamers once again found a ray of hope when Jarol2K shared a clip of an interview with Razor voice artist Derek Hamilton during an event. If you remember, Hamilton played Razor in the OG version ofMost Wanted.
It seems like the poster himself took this interview where the voice artist shares his experience as Razor and how the overflow of love from fans has been melting his heart throughout these years. Toward the conclusion of the interview, Hamilton was asked about the remake, and in reply, he mentioned,
You guys keep asking for it, they told me anything’s on the table. They love you guys and want to do what you want.
