Scrapped Titanfall campaign reveals similarity to Apex Legends story Respawn EntertainmentA first-ever look at the scrapped campaign from the original Titanfall has been revealed by a Respawn developer who is now the design director on Apex Legends. Titanfall was the first game made by Respawn Entertainment, after the studio formed from a group of devs who left Infinity Ward after Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Although the sequel released with a now critically-acclaimed campaign, the first game in the series focused solely on multiplayer \u2013 but it turns out this wasn\u2019t always the plan. In fact, the studio had created a fully functioning demo for a campaign, which never saw the light of day, until Jason McCord shared footage on Twitter on September 21. The gameplay is a throwback to the old Titanfall experience, but there\u2019s no titans or combat on show here, just some exposition and basic movement. Did you know? We worked on a Titanfall 1 Single Player campaign for a bit in ~2012, before scrapping it and focusing on MP. @slaypiece and I made the demo, and it looked a lot like this\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/uAXbyFvkkT\u2014 Jason McCord (@Monsterclip_JM) September 21, 2020 For Apex players, there\u2019s actually a link here to the Kings Canyon map. The protagonist describes the \u2018Wildlife control tower\u2019 as \u201cwhat stops the creatures from coming in.\u201d In Season 2 of Apex Legends, Crypto destroys a similar tower on Kings Canyon, known as the repulsor tower, which causes the infestation of flyers and leviathans on the map. The plan for this mission seems to be similar \u2013 destroy the repulsor tower to create a diversion. There\u2019s also other familiar features, such as the MRVNs (robots like Pathfinder). Sharing this clip will no doubt get Titanfall fans hoping for another entry in the series, but so far, there\u2019s been limited news on a third game. Although, During EA\u2019s last financial call, CFO Blake Jorgensen did say \u201cMaybe we\u2019ll see Titanfall sometime down the road\u201d \u2013 so all hope is not lost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
