EA: No plans for new NASCAR titles

Part of racing team moved to EA Sports' first MMA game, confirms Moore

EA Sports president Peter Moore has confirmed that there are no future plans for racing games based on the NASCAR licence.

Part of the team previously working on the series has moved onto EA's first mixed martial arts game, said Moore, which has become a new focus for the sports label.

"There are no plans right now for NASCAR from EA," said Moore, speaking to GameSpot. "We had a great relationship over the years that I thoroughly enjoyed when I first got here. Unfortunately…we had to make some tough trade-offs.

"We've had to redeploy some of those folks. A number of the NASCAR team has moved over now to EA Sports MMA, which will be shipping next year. [We're] still a huge fan of NASCAR, but no plans right now to develop any further games for NASCAR from EA Sports."

The last NASCAR title from EA Sports was NASCAR Kart Racing for the Wii, released earlier this year.
