The CEO of Respawn Entertainment voiced his desire to makeTitanfall 3someday. WhileApex Legendsis one of Respawn Entertainment’s main priorities, the series that the battle royale spun-off from,Titanfall, hasn’t been receiving the same amount of attention in the last few years. This focus was then further reduced when the developer announced that it was working on threeStar Warsgames, withStar Wars Jedi: Survivorbeing released at the end of Aprilafter much anticipation.Titanfall’s lack of focus was confirmed by the CEO of Respawn Entertainment, confirming that the series has no plans for the moment.Titanfallwas first released in 2014, being an FPS game that combined ground combat with Mecha-styled robot action. While the first game was a mixed bag, 2016’sTitanfall 2was a surprisingly improved sequel to many, having a short but explosive story campaign mode, along with iterating on the game’s combat. Thegame was released at the wrong time, however, sandwiched in-between bothCall of Duty Infinite WarfareandBattlefield 1, which ate into its sales. This is likely why theTitanfallseries hasn’t been a high priority for the developer outside its shared connection withApex Legends. Despite this, the CEO still wants a thirdTitanfall.RELATED:Apex Legends Reveals New Season 17 CharacterAccording to an interview with financial publication Barron (via Tae Kim), when Respawn Entertainment CEO Vince Zampella was asked aboutTitanfall’s future – specifically a third game in the series – he said that the studio isn’t working on anything that points towards it, but he would love to see it happen. He, however, also says that there are no “dedicated plans” towards it either.
Furthermore, Zampella notes that theTitanfallandApex Legendsshared universeis still quite beloved by many fans. He states that for it to come back, it’d have to be with both the “right time” and “right idea” too. It would also have to be something that won’t confuseApex Legendsfans who aren’t “necessarilyTitanfallfans yet.” Zampella states it’s a hard question, but he’d love to see something about it.
There were someplans about a single-playerApex Legendsspin-off gamefrom earlier this year, where EA had reportedly canceled it behind closed doors, though some details managed to get leaked online. Regardless, the future ofTitanfallis still quite murky for the time being, despite there being a lot of people, including Respawn’s CEO, who want to seeTitanfall 3happen.
