Criterion Founders Tease New Burnout Game

Recent tweets from former Criterian founders indicate that we could be seeing a new Burnout game in the not too distant future.

While EA seem disinterested in taking the franchise forward, Three Fields Entertainment, set up in 2014 by Alex Ward and Fiona Sperry who founded Criterion, have released a series of tweets hinting at a possible return to the series.

Two things. Our first game is a multiplayer sports game. Coming Spring 2016. Then we make a driving game. RT and #ScreamIfYouWantToGoFaster

What sort of driving game you ask? A spiritual successor. Speed. Traffic. And Crashing. Lots and lots of crashing. #ShinyRedSomething

The hashtag, #ShinyRedSomething, is a direct reference to the name given to the first Burnout game when it was under development - Shiny Red Car. Fans of the series have been replying on Twitter telling Three Fields Entertainment what they would like to see in a new Burnout game.

The last full release in the series, Burnout Paradise, launched in 2008 and divided fans with its open world gameplay.
