EA has confirmed that it has a number of games in the works for Switch, and one of those projects has rumored to be Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered. Now we’re one step closer to an announcement, as the title has been listed on Amazon UK. Unfortunately, the retailer doesn’t have any actual details aside from a tentative November 13 release date.
EA recently said it would be bringing seven games to Switch over the next year. Two of these titles are Burnout Paradise Remastered and Apex Legends while Lost in Random and FIFA 21 Legacy Edition should also be a part of the lineup. Aside from Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered, Velan Studios debut title and Plants vs. Zombies Battle for Neighborville are thought to be the other upcoming Switch games from EA.

One of the highlights from EA Play Live was the reveal of Lost in Random. The new game, made by Stick it to the Man, Flipping Death, and FE, was announced for Switch and other platforms.
As neat as the debut trailer was, it didn’t paint the best picture of what Lost in Random actually is, and some fans may have the wrong impression regarding what the game will be like. Directors Klaus Lyngeled and Olov Redmalm have since shared a bunch of new information with IGN that should start filling in the blanks.
Here’s a roundup of the latest details:

During its EA Play Live presentation, it was announced that EA will be putting seven games on Switch over the next year. Two were confirmed at the time: Apex Legends and Burnout Paradise Remastered.

[Review] Burnout Paradise Remastered

System: Switch
Release date: June 19, 2020
Developer: Criterion Games / Stellar Entertainment
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Early on, Burnout Paradise Remastered tells you that this game will be “unlike any driving experience you’ve ever had.” Although many people already have experienced this exact same driving adventure in the years since its original release on last-gen consoles in 2008, it is nonetheless just as fun as ever. This remaster promises to bundle all of that version’s extra content and DLC into one polished package that features improved visuals and performance, and after releasing on other platforms a few years back, it’s finally made it to Switch. The release on Nintendo’s console might have a few drawbacks of its own, but it preserves all the simple joy of the original game with pristine performance in portable and docked play.
