Rumors around Titanfall swell, but at the same time, bad news has been announced … and the return of the franchise seems more than ever threatened.
Since the release of Titanfall 2 In 2016 on PS4, Xbox One and PC, many players are demanding a suite in vain. The years have passed, Electronic Arts does not seem to see the interest of relaunching the license, even though this episode was very well received in particular because of its solid solo campaign. Despite the absence of positive signals on a new opus, rumors claim for several weeks that Titanfall 3 is on the way. But all this could only be a huge imbroglio ….
The fate of Titanfall definitively sealed? A canceled game!
Unfortunately, it was the hecatombe at Electronic Arts which proceeded between 300 and 400 layoffs, including a hundred within Respawn Entertainment. The Apex Legends studio, Star Wars Jedi Survivor and titanfall. “We have made the decision to cancel two projects in incubation and make adjustments of our workforce around Apex Legends and Star Wars Jedi 3 » said the studio. If Star Wars Jedi 3 is saved, we have bad news for you if you were waiting for the return of the Titanfall license.
According to information from the very serious Jason Schreier, one of the two projects canceled concerns Titanfall well. « The canceled project, whose code name was R7, was an extraction shooting game taking place in the world of Titanfall, according to people familiar with its development. He was not about to go out » explained the journalist. Is it the famous Titanfall 3 mentioned by people from the Apex Legends community? It looks like the view of the last corridor noises. Osvaldatore, a specialist in Battle Royale, said that a game with a solo campaign and a “extraction” main multiplayer mode was in the pipes.
So it is not excluded that it may be two games which had in common the extraction, but it seems unlikely. This canceled R7 project may be the new game to which journalist Jeff Grubbs referred in 2024. He also commented on the announcement of respawn layoffs with the following sentence: « There will be no Titanfall 3, as it should be clear ».
