Namely, the recently spotted filing places the unannounced game in the storefront's 'racing and flying' category seeing how it's way too early for a follow-up to Need for Speed Unbound, which released in December 2022 and was the reason behind the Criterion consolidation, the stated category narrows down the list of plausible candidates to F1 23 and the next WRC game, both of which are Codemasters projects, as well. RELATED: Xbox and F1 Driver Collab on New Halo HelmetĬodemasters' track record under Electronic Arts is relevant here because this newly surfaced Xbox Store listing uncovered by Aggiornamenti Lumia seems to point in the direction of another game from the UK-based studio. The last two Codemasters projects prior to its merger with Criterion Games, F1 22 and GRID Legends, also followed that trend: the former debuted in April 2022, while the latter was part of the July 2021 EA Play Live announcements.

Like most big publishers, EA historically saved most of its biggest game unveilings for spring and-even more often-summer. The California-based gaming giant has been quiet in terms of new announcements since summer 2022, when it mostly focused on its Q1 2023 releases such as the critically acclaimed Dead Space remake and monster-hunting RPG Wild Hearts.

EA might be preparing to reveal one of its unannounced games in the coming months, according to a newly surfaced Xbox Store listing hinting at both the existence and identity of this mysterious title.
