During the EA Play conference this year, a representative of the company said the third-party giant was planning to bring “seven new games to Switch” over the next 12 months<\/a>. Not long after this, industry insider Jeff Grubb revealed one of these titles – according to his own source – was likely to be a remaster of Criterion Games’ 2010 racer, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

While there’s no official confirmation from Electronic Arts just yet, a listing has now popped up on the Australian and New Zealand online retailer, Mighty Ape. It’s unknown how long it’s been live, but on both versions of the website<\/a>, it’s listed for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch.<\/p>\n

There’s no mention of a release date, but you can apparently pre-order the game right now. Here’s an image of it listed alongside the original 2010 release (on the NZ webpage), as well as the AU listing which includes some screenshots.<\/p>\n

While there’s no guarantee this is necessarily the real deal, it’s definitely interesting timing. We had a look around on the same website for the other<\/em> rumoured EA games (also mentioned by Jeff) such as the Mass Effect trilogy<\/a> and a Switch version of Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville<\/strong>, and couldn’t find any evidence.<\/p>\n

So, when might a remaster of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit be announced? Well, there’s an Xbox Games Showcase taking place next week on 23rd July, and before this is a special Xbox pre-show hosted by Geoff Keighley – who yesterday teased the event would feature “additional world premieres”<\/a> from Xbox’s partners. With any luck, we’ll hear something then!<\/p>\n
