Whispers of a Hot Pursuit have been going around this summer, with a GamesBeat rumour naming it in June and listings on an Antipodean games store following in July. Made by Criterion Games, Hot Pursuit is about as good as the series has been in a long a long time (especially after howlers like Payback). Our former John (RPS in peace) dug it in his Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit review, but he was clearly hoping Criterion would have made a sequel to Burnout Paradise instead. If only he’d known that we’d still be waiting for Burnout Paradise 2 a decade later. EA did release a remaster of Burnout Paradise in 2018. Yep, it was still great, John’s Burnout Paradise Remastered review said. That one did debut on consoles six months before its PC release, so maybe that’ll be why none of the Hot Pursuit Remastered leaks so far have mentioned PC. If they’re real. Which should become clear in the next few months.
