News This Week's Need for Speed News: Speedhunters' Instagram Disappears, NFS Mobile Closure

200 Upvotes

What's up folks. We have a couple of news stories for y'all this week. One of which we should have broadcasted prior but haven't yet.

Speedhunters Instagram: Gone.

Photo by Trevor Yale Ryan

The official Instagram page of Speedhunters (@thespeedhunters) has disappeared from the internet about last week. Like with the closure itself, there's no public information as to why's the case.

As a reminder, a public archive has been published to keep the stories alive - visit https://speedhunters.online/ if you wanna browse through over a decade worth of exploring global car culture.

Need for Speed Mobile: Dead. (At least in Taiwan)

Photo from NFS Mobile's Garena Site

Romankus, look away! As published by their official Facebook and Garena pages (thanks huf and TME on Discord for the tip!), NFS Mobile, also known as NFS Assemble, has announced the closure of the title on December 28, 2026, 12:00 PM (GMT+8). Starting today, in-game purchases are closed, and transfer of any remaining paid currencies will be announced on a later date.

Addenum: As of right now, this is only for Taiwanese servers - Mainland Chinese servers are still active. But expect that to be gone relatively soon as well.

As is the current state of NFS post the private equity buyout, there's still no word on what's going on. It'll probably be like this for a long time.

News The Speedhunters Archive: 17 Years of Car Culture History, now preserved and online

246 Upvotes

I think we all share the same sentiment when Speedhunters got abruptly shut down last year: It's a sad passing of an era that EA no longer deems profitable enough to keep up.

Thanks to some archivists (who I can't find the names of, if you put this up, please let me know!), the Speedhunters archive is now back online, and you can read 17 years worth of car culture and Need for Speed history that's uniquely documented by them.

You can find it here: https://www.speedhunters.online/

Thanks u/nfslyy for the tip!

Fan Concept / Content (Mods) I made a simple mod that adds the DLC booster pack opponents into the main opponent pool in NFS Prostreet

If you look closely at these pictures, you may see a new set of opponents that also look a bit familiar to you.

Yes, these are the opponents that only spawn in the Leipzig and Tokyo Expressway DLC racedays.

If you played Prostreet, there is probably a chance that you have run into the DLC booster pack opponents that only appear in the DLC Leipzig and Tokyo Expressway racedays (The Challenger Concept and Lancia guys on Leipzig, the S2000, AMG, and DB9 guys on Tokyo Expressway, etc.)

And apparently, you only run into these guys on said DLC tracks, only for them to never be seen again in the main campaign afterwards (which I personally find disappointing because they could've made the opponent pool more diverse in the main game)

This mod aims to fix this problem by adding the main DLC opponents into the mix. But here is the thing, there is also a small twist to this mod as well:

I also made them spawn based on which Difficulty/Organization they would likely fit right into. (e.g.: some select opponents would spawn in React Team Sessions/medium difficulty racedays, while some are in Super Promotion/hard difficulty, and while some would spawn both in RTS and Super Promotion, etc.)

Huge shoutout and credit to u/ItzHyper who taught me how to add these cars into the mix;) And also to R4BBIT for serving as my inspiration for making this mod to some extent.

Discussion In your opinion, which one do you prefer that I should get as a poster. The title or without the title. The logo one is slightly cropped and the colour is a bit toned down. I downloaded the no logo on the EA Website and the logo on the wiki.

Discussion Which game has the most potential to be adapted into a movie?

8 Upvotes

I know they already made the NFS movie in 2014 but if they were to create another one, would you rather them:

A) Buff up one of the games stories and make it a movie

or

B) Try to create another original storyline

If you go with A, which game has the best atmosphere and storyline for a movie?
