Summary
Despite almost a decade passing since the release of the firstTitanfall, the gaming community still holds the series dear. Fueled by the enduring popularity of the sequel, fans are eagerly awaiting any details concerning a new installment to theTitanfalluniverse. While the recentrumor that a newTitanfallgame is in developmentis an exciting thought, there is a caveat.
Titanfallfans, facing a long drought of new content, might be surprised by any news about the series in 2024. After all, Respawn Entertainment’s seemingly prioritizingApex Legendshas dampened hopes ofTitanfall 3happening. Notably, while there’s speculation that a freshTitanfallgame is currently in the works, it doesn’t appear that the narrative will be directly connected to the first two games.
Respawn Entertainment Could Be Making A New Game Set in The Titanfall Universe
Rumors Claim That The Upcoming Game Is Not Titanfall 3
The rumor originated on March 4 from video game journalist Jeff Grubb’s podcast,Game Mess Mornings. During the podcast, Grubb claims thatSteve Fukuda, the director ofTitanfall 2, is heading the development team for a new game set in theTitanfalluniverse. While this team has been public knowledge since May 2023, their original purpose was simply “finding the fun in something new,” leaving specifics unclear. The prototype is reportedly still in its early stages, but continuing to gather steam.
Unfortunately, even if the speculation turns out to be true, Grubb stressed that his sources are adamant that this project won’t beTitanfall 3. Though it’s clear some fans would like a threequel to be made, it doesn’t appear it’s happening anytime soon. About 28 minutes into his podcast, Grubb says “Whenever I do look into it, they’re not makingTitanfall 3, they just straight up aren’t."
Grubb further clarified on Twitter that the rumored game may still feature Titans in some capacity. This connection to theTitanfalluniverse hints at the possibility that the new game could lean more towardsApex Legends' approach rather than replicating elements ofTitanfall. After all, though related, withApex Legendsset 18 years afterTitanfall 2, the battle royale doesn’t quite fulfill the desires that a direct sequel to the 2016 game could.
In Time, Titanfall 3 Could Still Happen
Unfortunately, the future of theTitanfallseries seems uncertain. In February 2023, EA canceled a project codenamedTitanfall Legends, raising concerns about the series' development process. Following this came rumors that a scrappedTitanfall 3was reportedly in development for ten monthsbefore it was terminated. As such, while Respawn’s CEO has expressed interest inTitanfall 3, it seems the studio is still waiting for the right moment.
While Fukuda’s new project isn’tTitanfall 3, the possibility of a third game in the series remains. Though details have been scarce, Respawn Entertainment is still clearly invested in theTitanfalluniverse. Hopefully, in time, more concrete news regarding Fukuda’s upcoming game andplans forTitanfall 3will be revealed.
