The run takes a walk

EA have decided to cancel their forthcoming iOS version of Need For Speed The Run.

The decision was made public on their Facebook page as they explained the reason behind the difficult decision not to bring their latest NFS game to iPhone:

"EA Mobile will not be launching Need for Speed: The Run on iOS. These decisions don’t come easily, but in the end our focus on fewer, bigger, better experiences necessitated that we focus resources on another exciting new Need for Speed experience for mobile users coming soon. We’ll share more about that in the coming months."

While it's a shame that the game is being cancelled, looking at the scores from the console version we can't help wonder if the criticisms and poor reception played some small part in the decision.

However, with EA seemingly being some of the biggest titles on iOS in the last year, we're pretty sure there's another huge title just around the corner.
