EA Canceled Single-Player Titanfall Or Apex Legends Game - Report

Unfortunately, 50 developers were apparently displaced.

12 Comments

Electronic Arts has reportedly canceled a single-player game set in the Titanfall and Apex Legends universe. This comes after EA’s disappointing financial outlook for the current quarter.

According to Bloomberg, the unnamed and unannounced game was codenamed Titanfall Legends. It was reportedly directed by designer Mohammad Alavi until he left EA in early 2022. The game’s development team reportedly consisted of 50 people and EA is helping them find other roles within the company. However, those who aren’t given other roles will reportedly be laid off and given severance packages.

Now Playing: Apex Legends & Titanfall Timeline Explained

EA had notable announcements recently, such as delaying Star Wars: Jedi Survivor to April 28, as well as shutting down production on both Apex Legends Mobile and Battlefield Mobile.

While Apex Legends is much more popular than Titanfall, Respawn Entertainment wanted fans to know that Titanfall was still part of the developer’s identity, possibly hinting at some future announcements. Unfortunately, now it seems like it’ll be a while until any sort of new potential Titanfall game ever releases.

In GameSpot’s Titanfall 2 review, we said, “In many ways, Titanfall 2 feels like the game Respawn should have made in 2013. It's a fantastic sequel. It's a fluid shooter. It's a spectacular game.”

That's bad. I purchased Titanfall 2 for its spectacular campaign. Well, I don't have to play Apex Legends to pretend it has some story on Titanfall I want to know about. This is how you beat free: when they offer something you don't want.

Worst news ever. I hope they sell off the TF2 IP to a studio that gives a damn.

@Ice-Cube: I suppose they'd tell you Dead Space accomplishes that, but we all know they only did it because of the RE remakes.

Not surprising. EA still believes, all evidence to the contrary, that single player games are not profitable enough.

Oh, hey. EA cancels a new entry in a poorly performing franchise. You don't say.

@Barighm: Not poorly performing, if viewed as the Apex Legends franchise rather than Titanfall.

@Spartan_418: Clearly they viewed it as the latter.

**Fyi, confirmed in new article: they were fully intending to rebrand the franchise as Apex simply because Apex is more popular.
