Need for Speed Shift 2 is a real thing

We heard that it might be coming a bit back, but now EA confirms it.

In a financial results call pre-release, EA confirms that Need for Speed: Shift 2 is coming in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, so don’t get too excited quite yet. It’ll be a slow-speed climb uphill until then. For now it’s more like Need for Screenshots. Expect to see it on both consoles and PC.

We’ll have more for you as it comes down the line from EA.
