Need for Speed Most Wanted Remake - Info Dump or New Hope?...

On June 22, 2023, YouTube channel XXII released an entertaining video - ostensibly a trailer for Need for Speed Most Wanted Remake. The event, let's be honest, is not epochal. The channel holder is a dataminer, not an internal EA employee.

The trailer for the Remake of everyone's favorite classic was made on the Unreal Engine 5 engine. And all would be nothing, but materials on Need for Speed Most Wanted Remake began to be released on a regular basis.

On the one hand, in the descriptions of trailers it is written in black and white that the material is fan material....

...But on the other hand... Let's take a look at the preview of one of the videos. Don't you think it's strange that some author shamelessly inserts watermarks of companies with huge capitalization into the video?

On top of that, the trailers also show a release window of 2024. The trailers themselves don't look like a fan-made craft in some Blander. The legendary BMW M3 GTR car in the trailer can be confused with a real car filmed on camera:

So what was it: an attempt to play on popularity or a plum? Reminder: the fan-made Need for Speed Undeground 2 Remake already exists...
