For the past 13 years, Electronic Arts (EA) has had a year-on-year release of the popular Need for Speed franchise.

However, this year marks the first time that EA will be taking a time out, instead opting to focus on the next iteration in the series that will release in 2015, according to EA CEO Andrew Wilson.

Wilson broke the news during an EA conference call today.

"Ghost Games in Gothenburg is working on an innovative new chapter of this storied franchise," Wilson stated.

"We've planned an extended development window to ensure we're delivering a high-quality experience for Need for Speed players next year."

While Wilson didn't offer reasoning for this change, it's speculated that current Need for Speed Rivals developer, Ghost Games suffered a round of lay-offs only three months ago which would have affected the Need for Speed project.
