Apex Legends publisher teases Titanfall 2 sequel coming \u201cdown the road\u201d Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends publisher Electronic Arts has teased a long-awaited sequel to Respawn\u2019s cult multiplayer shooter Titanfall 2 could finally be coming \u201cdown the road,\u201d after the devs shelved the planned trilogy release back in 2017. Before there was Wraith, Loba, Kings Canyon, and Apex Legends, Respawn was working on the Titanfall series. The part-wall runner, part-vehicle combat shooter title was billed as a Call of Duty rival, but never really exploded into mainstream popularity. EA may finally be eyeing a return to what has become the Apex Legends prequel, however, Dexerto heard chief financial officer Blake Jorgensen tease during the company\u2019s recent 2020 Q1 financial conference call. Jorgensen was actually answering a question about possibly EA acquiring start-up studios when Respawn Entertainment was brought up. EA\u2019s CFO explained the company\u2019s $300 million Respawn acquisition wasn\u2019t as much about what they were working on \u2014 Titanfall 3 at the time \u2014 but rather their potential. \u201cWe were able to bring them into the fold, and give them incredible support, and it was driven by the fact that they have incredible talent,\u201d he said. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t about Titanfall\u2014 no offense to Titanfall. It\u2019s an amazing game\u2026\u201d Jorgensen then dropped the bombshell Titanfall fans, and Apex Legends converts, have been eager to hear: \u201cMaybe we\u2019ll see Titanfall sometime down the road.\u201d He did go on to add \u201cit was really about the team,\u201d but his tease had already stuck. Now, there\u2019s every chance Jorgensen just used Titanfall 3 as an example, but the fact he\u2019s even comfortable teasing a possible trilogy release is big news. EA just doesn\u2019t make mistakes in their investor conference calls, after all. Titanfall 3 may well be a possibility for Respawn, or another dev studio, to begin sinking their teeth into, but it likely won\u2019t be anytime soon. In May, Respawn\u2019s co-founder Vince Zampella admitted there was \u201cnothing currently in development.\u201d The former Modern Warfare guru did, however, say he was very interested in seeing \u201csome kind of resurrection there\u201d. Respawn was built on Titanfall, after all. He added he would \u201csee if [he] could make something happen.\u201d If there really is a \u201cresurrection,\u201d as Zampella puts it, of the Titanfall franchise though, it may be a while before we can get our hands on it. Title development would take one or two years, putting a potential release around 2022, at least. In the meantime, Respawn is already finding ways to sneak their original franchise into the new evolution of the title too. Just last month, Titanfall 2 villain Ash made her Apex Legends debut at the end of the single-player Broken Ghost questline. Apex Predator commander Blisk has also been teased repetitively in the battle royale \u2014 he\u2019s actually the original founder of the Apex Games \u2014 though it\u2019s looking a little unlikely he\u2019ll be a playable Legend heading into Season 6. For now, it\u2019s a waiting game for Titanfall fans eager to see a trilogy release for the cult-series. For those that haven\u2019t played the series sequel before either, it\u2019s just dropped on Steam, and regularly goes on sale. In Apex Legends news, the sixth season is fast approaching. New teasers have been springing up across World\u2019s Edge, crossplay is coming soon, and data miners just got their hands on all the details for Rampart; it\u2019s all happening!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
