What happened to the Titanfall spin-off game that was supposed to come out last year? That’s the question on everyone’s lips, as yesterday Respawn co-founder Vince Zampella said no new Titanfall games are currently in development.
In an interview with IGN to discuss Respawn’s 10th anniversary, Zampella said “there’s nothing currently in development” for the Titanfall franchise, but “it’s always there”.
“You see the little bits of stuff coming back [through the lore in Apex Legends],” he added. “At some point, I would personally like to see some kind of resurrection there. We’ll see if I can make that happen.”
Back when Apex Legends first launched in early 2019, Respawn explained Titanfall 3 was not being developed at the time – but it seemed Apex was likely born from battle royale mode experiments for a sequel. Hopes for the Titanfall franchise were raised again last year when both Zampella and EA boss Andrew Wilson said a Titanfall-universe premium game was due to be released in 2019. But judging by Zampella’s recent comments – and the fact the game has not materialised – it seems it’s probably been cancelled. Eurogamer has contacted EA for clarification.
