Respawn Teases More Titanfall After Reports The Franchise Is On The Backburner

There's still more Titanfall in our future, according to a vague tweet on Respawn's official account.

12 Comments

Respawn wants you to know it hasn't given up on Titanfall, despite recent reports to the contrary. Yesterday, news outlets picked up a comment from Respawn community coordinator Jason Garza, who said that the company was working on too many games to focus on Titanfall right now. In response to the reports, the company has tweeted a vague statement that "Titanfall is the very core of our DNA."

The initial information came from comments made by Respawn community coordinator Jason Garza in a YouTube livestream, albeit on a channel not associated with the company aside from Garza's employment. When asked by fans about the possibility of a new Titanfall he said: "There's nothing. There's nothing there." Garza did say that Respawn was working on the DDOS attacks plaguing Titanfall 1 and 2, however.

Now Playing: Apex Legends & Titanfall Timeline Explained

After the story was picked up by numerous gaming news outlets, Respawn has released an official, if vague, statement on the matter via its Twitter account.

While many fans have taken the tweet as confirmation that Titanfall 3 is in the works, the wording is intentionally vague, with no mention of an actual project or a timeframe beyond saying "who knows what the future holds..."

It's most likely that the tweet was intended to debunk rumors that Respawn was completely abandoning the Titanfall franchise, rather than directly teasing a new game in the series.

At present, Respawn has a lot on its plate with its Battle Royale game Apex Legends, which remains popular with fans despite ongoing server issues.

This is just a polite way of saying that Titanfall is not a priority right now because Apex is.

There is nothing EA loves more than money, they suicided Titanfall 2 by releasing it a week prior to Battlefield 1 without any fanfare or advertising push and predictably it didn’t sell well so EA thinks it flopped when in reality, they set it up to fail.

@GalvatronType_R: Thus the point of my little math problem joke. Titanfall flopped hard. Anthem, although a disaster, still made enough money to break even. EA Austin offered to fix the game, and it wouldn't have been a loss, but EA doesn't like working with losers so they torpedoed that project. Titanfall is an even bigger loser than Anthem, and Apex is...not. Why in the world does anyone think EA would greenlight another Titanfall over Apex?

That said, it's possible another publisher funds the project, but given the franchise's lack of success and the attacks, I imagine the franchise is considered toxic at this point. The best you could hope for is some retro demake, or maybe a spiritual successor.

You do what EA tells you to do, so it's not like what you want matters, Respawn.

Here's a math problem for you guys.

EA = EA

Apex = Highly successful

Titanfall = Highly disappointing

Anthem = Highly disappointing, but still broke even

Second Chance for Anthem + EA = No more Anthem

Now that you've got the variables, solve:

Titanfall + EA = ?

@Barighm: Highly disappointing = Second Chance for Anthem - No more Anthem

Highly disappointing = Anthem(Second chance for - No more)

Highly disappointing = Highly disappointing, but still broke even(second chance for - No more)

I've crunched the variables. Conclusion: You need more logic training.

@Barighm: Your math does not make any actual mathematical sense, by the way.

@Barighm: I considered actually going through the arithmetic, but decided I was too lazy. Congrats on winning your bet though. At least the internet is occasionally worth something.

I doubt it's really up to them. They're a subsidiary of EA, and I'd imagine EA wants them committed to Apex as long as it's still making money.
