EA's Need for Speed Getting the Call of Duty Web Treatment

Posted May 17, 2010 by Ben Strauss

EA has once again decided to register a myriad of web domains to hint at upcoming Need for Speed games in the works. Super Annuation once again spotted the web domain registers, just as with the Call of Duty franchise. With EA poised to announce a new Need for Speed title at E3 this year, the domain names possibly hint at the name of the next game in the franchise.

There is a wide variety of titles, and most of them use some sort of wording often associated with the racing scene. With Need for Speed: Underground East on the table, there could be a reboot of the once popular import tech branch. Other titles include:
