EA Gothenburg is hiring 'a lot' for what appears to be the next installment of the Need for Speed franchise.

CVG reports that a job posting on the studio's career site reads:

"Would you like to be a part of EA? Would you like to work on a game in the Need for Speed franchise? You now have the opportunity to become a part of EA Gothenburg and fulfill those two wishes!
