HISTORY
Did NFS Underground 3 Ever Release?
No released EA game titled Need for Speed: Underground 3 was found as of 29 October 2026. The series chronology moves from Underground 2 (2004) to Most Wanted (2005). Independent PSU reporting from 2015 quotes EA distinguishing that year's reboot from Underground 3. This is a dated status check, not a prediction about future announcements.
I checked the series table because box-art compilations and wish-list videos keep the number 3 alive. The table does not have a row for it. The closest real products are Underground 2 itself, the 2005 Most Wanted, and the 2012 reboot that reused the Most Wanted name.
What people are actually looking at
PSP's Underground Rivals is a different game, not a portable Underground 2 and not Underground 3. The UE5 footage covered on the remaster page is a project about Underground 2, and the articles do not present it as EA shipping part 3. Most Wanted 2 as a title is the other myth, handled on its own page.
The 2015 quote
PSU reported on 25 May 2015 that the PS4 Need for Speed then in development was not Underground 3, and quoted EA to that effect: it was not Underground 3 as such. That game became the 2015 reboot, which is also not a sequel numbered 3.
Questions
Is there a ROM of Underground 3?
There is no released game to have a ROM of. Pages offering one are not listed here.
Will EA make it?
Unknown. The only sourced statement is that it has not been released, and that EA declined the name in 2015 for a different project.
