Earlier this year, Respawn\u2019s CEO stated he would \u201clove to see\u201d Titanfall 3 but that it wouldn\u2019t happen anytime soon. The story quickly picked up traction as fans of the franchise are still awaiting a proper sequel. This was proven yet again when a recent IGN tweet referencing a story about Titanfall\u2019s 3 cancelation went viral. The article included comments from one of the devs that stated that the game was 10 months into development before it was turned into Apex Legends. Mohammad Alavim, the developer quoted in IGN\u2019s article, spoke up on his personal Twitter that he \u201cdoesn\u2019t understand why this blew up,\u201d before giving more details about Titanfall 3\u2019s cancellation. Ex-Respawn dev Mohammad Alavim sheds light on Titanfall 3\u2019s cancellation The dev stated that he is confused why the information that Titanfall 3 was canceled in favor of Apex Legends blew up with interest despite being public knowledge for some time. \u201cIt\u2019s been public knowledge that TF3 was in development before the team pivoted to Apex Legends. It\u2019s no mystery that the Titanfall team made Apex or that experimentation in TF3 development led to Apex,\u201d stated Alavi in his series of Tweets. \u201cTo those not in game dev \u2013 10mo of preproduction doesn\u2019t look like much of a product. It\u2019s not like a game was scrapped \u2013 a prototype was scrapped in favor of a more promising prototype. \u201cTo the argument that TF3 didn\u2019t need to be much better than TF2 \u2013 I think you feel that way because of how unique TF2 felt. If TF3 was just more of the same, it would lack that feeling you\u2019re yearning for. I\u2019d rather leave fans with a fond memory than disappointed with mediocrity.\u201d Some Twitter users went on to explain to Mohammad that they find any mention of Titanfall 3 exciting because of fond memories from Titanfall 2, combined with a general lack of understanding of how a game looks 10 months into development. With the Titanfall series director moving on to work on new IP for Respawn Entertainment chances are getting slimmer that we will hear anything about Titanfall 3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Apex Legends dev sheds light on scrapped Titanfall 3 development EA\/RespawnA developer that worked on both Titanfall games and Apex Legends spoke up about Titanfall 3 cancellation after news about it went viral on Twitter.
