Battle royale spin-off Apex Legends appears to be doing effectively, nevertheless it’s good to know that there’s extra correct Titanfall nonetheless on the way in which. Titanfall three could formally not be on the playing cards, however in line with this tweet from Respawn CEO Vince Zampella, there’s one thing bearing the collection identify “for later in the year”. Of course, this isn’t affirmation of a lot past the continuation of the title (“the T word”), nevertheless it’s good to know that there’s no less than an opportunity we’ll meet BT-7274 once more, or no less than befriend one other barely sassy big warbot.
Folks had been understandably a bit nervous about the way forward for the collection after Eurogamer’s interview with Respawn’s Drew McCoy. “The world thinks we’re making Titanfall 3 and we’re not – this is what we’re making” sounds fairly closing, however Zampella’s assertion makes it sound extra like advertising and marketing sleight-of-hand. Whatever’s coming isn’t a sequel, however that doesn’t imply we’re not getting one other FPS set in its sci-fi universe of sassy robots, people in android our bodies and big lasers that go BWEEEEEEEEEM. Of course, it doesn’t imply we’re, both – greatest hedge your bets.
Tons of issues deliberate for @PlayApex sooner or later. We are additionally dedicated to listening to participant suggestions.
We are additionally engaged on extra Titanfall for later within the yr (sure, I mentioned the T phrase). We love having the ability to experiment on this loopy universe!

Note that Zampella does discuss experimenting with the setting, so the subsequent game might truthfully be something, on any platform. I’m hoping that Apex Legends catches on lengthy sufficient to develop into a money cow and supply of safety for Respawn. The Titanfall collection has by no means actually performed in addition to it ought to – regardless of Titanfall 2 being sensible each solo and on-line, it didn’t draw the crowds. Even the surprisingly respectable cell technique spinoff Titanfall: Assault struggled to make an affect, and shut down early. Can’t blame them for wanting to maintain attempting concepts till one actually sticks.
In the meantime, Apex Legends is a fairly good little game, no less than from the couple rounds I’ve performed up to now. Give it a stab for your self – it’s free-to-play and on Origin now.
