NFSgame.net sent NFS Unlimited the following quote which supposedly came from EA:

Quote:
I just want to tell you that the game is now in ALPHA stage and it almost surely should be presented this summer at Los Angeles. I know, that we did not reveal much about the game at January as we were supposed to, but I did warn you that things in EA often change. I think that you very well know yourself from waiting for the demo of Carbon as a PC user for ages. Sorry about that. Its a issue you have to espouse. All the images that will probably pop-up on the internet the next few months and will be claiming that they are from NFS11 should be ignored, because they will be on 99% a hoax. Until we release any or rather until the game will be shown, please take those „screenshots" with a step back.I hope the long waiting for the next NFS will be for you worth it. EA is this time working really hard, trust me.You will be happy when you see all the new key features of the new title this summer. As always, be patient…


Whether the quote above really originates from EA cannot be confirmed. E3 will be held from July 11.-13. while the latest NFS titles were traditionally announced between April and June.
