Of all the games that are crying out for a remake or remaster, I think it’s fair to sayNeed For Speed Underground 2sits comfortably at the very top of the list.
It is, I think we can all agree, completely bizarre that the fan favouriteNeed For Speedhas yet to be revisited. Publisher Electronic Arts is infamous for having perpetual dollar signs in its eyes, so quite how it has avoided the goldmine of remaking one of the most popular games of a generation is beyond us.
Take a look at the latest Need For Speed in all its glory below!
Heck, it’s not like remakes and remasters are a foreign concept to EA. TheMass Effecttrilogy was given a new lease on life in 2021, and we’ve even seen a few Need For Speed games remastered, including 2010’sHot Pursuit.

18 years on, thefans are still putting together their own remakes, imagining whatUnderground 2would look like on a new-gen console. All this time later, and there are still tons of petitions and fan campaigns begging EA to hear them and bring back the classic game onPlayStation 5andXbox Series X/S.
Will it ever happen? We can’t say for sure, but I don’t think we can ever properly rule it out. Hell, it took over 10 years to get a sequel toDragon’s Dogma, and aSuper Mario RPGremakecame out of nowhere earlier this year. If these things can happen, I think a remaster ofNeed For Speed Underground 2is absolutely a possibility.
