"Customization, we love it, you love it, everyone loves it. What's not to love? Rest assured that we're committed to customization having a home within the 'Need for Speed' series. It's not going away and it will play as strong a role as ever as we move forward into the next game and beyond," Ghost Games said in a recent blog post.
