Titanfall 2 might not have been a failure, but it surely actually didn’t attain its full gross sales potential.
According to Vince Zampella, head of the sport’s developer Respawn, the sport was profitable, it simply didn’t promote in addition to it ought to have.
Zampella informed Gamespot that there might be a few causes for that.
“The game was successful, it sold well, but it didn’t quite sell as well as it should have,” he informed the location. “Maybe because it was super-crowded, the pricing was aggressive–it was a rough window to launch our game.”
It’s unclear what he means by an aggressive value. Would it have maybe finished higher at retail if bought for lower than $60?
The recreation’s launch timing actually didn’t do it any favours. Titanfall 2 got here out October 28, one week after Battlefield 1, and one week earlier than Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and Modern Warfare Remastered. The guarantees of free post-launch assist didn’t assist the launch gross sales a lot, both.
As for the sequence’ future, Zampella was clear the franchise will proceed, however couldn’t say how. “‘We’re doing more Titanfall,’ [sic] is the quote I’m supposed to say,” he mentioned.
“We have our franchise creative director, who’s in charge of safeguarding the franchise in multiple formats and making sure it continues to grow. There’s some other things we’re doing that haven’t been announced just yet, but we’re heavily invested in the Titanfall universe.”
A sequel to Titanfall 2 has not been introduced by both EA, or Respawn. With the studio now busy engaged on a Star Wars recreation, it could be some time earlier than we hear about what’s subsequent for Titanfall.
