When it comes to outlandishly fun multiplayer shooters, Titanfall 2 is pretty hard to beat, and it seems like developer Respawn Entertainment knows this better than anyone else. Responding to comments that the beloved series might be gone for good, Respawn took to Twitter to set the record straight.
Respawn’s tweet on the matter indicated that Titanfall is “the very core of our DNA,” and essentially left the door open for a potential return of the franchise in the future. When that time will be is impossible to say at this point, but the tweet did seem to grant fans at least some peace of mind.
Contrary to what some folks are reporting, Titanfall is the very core of our DNA. Who knows what the future holds…September 23, 2021
The tweet was likely composed in response to comments made by Respawn Entertainment’s community coordinator Jason Garza (spotted byDexerto) when asked about a potential Titanfall 3: “There’s nothing. There’s nothing there. We’ve got too many other games in the works right now.”
Garza probably isn’t wrong, either. Respawn continues to work on popular battle royaleApex Legends, its upcomingmobile version, as well as anentirely new projectthe company was hiring for back in April, 2021.
Analysis: will we ever see Titanfall 3?
As its tweet makes perfectly clear, Titanfall is a series that’s important to Respawn Entertainment. As such it’s likely not a matter ofifwe’ll ever get Titanfall 3, and more of a matter ofwhen.
Currently, it simply wouldn’t make much sense for Respawn to greenlight Titanfall 3.Apex Legendscontinues to be immensely popular, consistently pumping out new seasons and characters every few months. If Titanfall 3 released anytime soon, Respawn would essentially split its playerbase between that and Apex Legends, preventing either game from really flourishing.
As for the current state of Titanfall in the meantime, both games are playable via EA Play on theXbox Game Pass Ultimatesubscription service on PC, Xbox One andXbox Series X/S, attracting healthy numbers of players.
