Some of us here at Gamereactor expected to hear more at this year's E3 about the extreme sports game Criterion revealed during EA's E3 2014 conference. When they didn't, and instead showed off Star Wars Battlefront: X-Wing VR Mission, we contacted EA for further details about the project. Now we've received an answer:
"Criterion has moved on from the project you are referring to. Their focus is now to build new ideas and experiment with new IP, while also collaborating with other EA studios."
Our interpretation of this is that the game has been cancelled, and that we won't see how the talented studio would have handled moving from fast cars and speeders to skis and parachutes. At least we have Ubisoft's newly announced Steep to look forward to instead.
