Criterion is gearing up to show lift the lid on its new Need for Speed title, hinting that it will hark back to the roots of the series.

EA confirmed last year that Criterion is working on a new NFS, pledging a better game than in recent years after admitting that quality has suffered due to its failure to put "adequate resources behind the franchise".

A recent Twitter post from Criterion teases: "Today we saw the first magazine articles featuring our new game. And you will too. Soon."

It goes on to hint that the game may take the series back to its roots. One fan asks what Criterion's favourite NFS game is, to which it answers "the original 3DO game". And in a later post, Criterion responds to a player who expresses their love for the "old school" NFS games saying: "We have a feeling you might like it!"

Could it be planning a pre-E3 reveal to beat the noise? We hope so.
