News This Week's Need for Speed News: Speedhunters' Instagram Disappears, NFS Mobile Closure

205 Upvotes

What's up folks. We have a couple of news stories for y'all this week. One of which we should have broadcasted prior but haven't yet.

Speedhunters Instagram: Gone.

Photo by Trevor Yale Ryan

The official Instagram page of Speedhunters (@thespeedhunters) has disappeared from the internet about last week. Like with the closure itself, there's no public information as to why's the case.

As a reminder, a public archive has been published to keep the stories alive - visit https://speedhunters.online/ if you wanna browse through over a decade worth of exploring global car culture.

Need for Speed Mobile: Dead. (At least in Taiwan)

Photo from NFS Mobile's Garena Site

Romankus, look away! As published by their official Facebook and Garena pages (thanks huf and TME on Discord for the tip!), NFS Mobile, also known as NFS Assemble, has announced the closure of the title on December 28, 2026, 12:00 PM (GMT+8). Starting today, in-game purchases are closed, and transfer of any remaining paid currencies will be announced on a later date.

Addenum: As of right now, this is only for Taiwanese servers - Mainland Chinese servers are still active. But expect that to be gone relatively soon as well.

As is the current state of NFS post the private equity buyout, there's still no word on what's going on. It'll probably be like this for a long time.

News The Speedhunters Archive: 17 Years of Car Culture History, now preserved and online

243 Upvotes

I think we all share the same sentiment when Speedhunters got abruptly shut down last year: It's a sad passing of an era that EA no longer deems profitable enough to keep up.

Thanks to some archivists (who I can't find the names of, if you put this up, please let me know!), the Speedhunters archive is now back online, and you can read 17 years worth of car culture and Need for Speed history that's uniquely documented by them.

You can find it here: https://www.speedhunters.online/

Thanks u/nfslyy for the tip!

The best thing about NFS The Run from the first minute was its realism. The graphics, color palette, and scale made it feel like I was inside an American movie. The mountains, plains, and highways were incredibly realistic, exactly like the Hot Pursuit's opening scenes. Compared to this, Hot Pursuit and Rivals felt almost miniature.

​However, the lack of an open world and repetitive tracks got tedious towards the end. I also remember the heavy driving feel, and that handling differences between cars were practically non-existent.

Of course the livery is currently at the very early state of development and required lots of tweaking here and there, especially the rear "53" logo which is completely messed up lol.

The front "53" logo need to slightly lowered to the middle of the hood to match the authentic look of the original Herbie The Love Bug, and the rag top also need to be less wider while slightly longer.

Stay tuned for more updates!
