Zampella is personally looking forward to working on NFS. “Many of you might be familiar with my history in games, having worked with extremely talented teams onApex Legends,Titanfall, and Star Wars Jedi here at Electronic Arts,” he said. “But you might not know I have a passion for cars, which also makes Criterion a perfect match for me to explore another genre in gaming that I love.
