Just days after the surprise release of its new battle royale game Apex Legends, Respawn Entertainment has confirmed that another Titanfall related project is being developed and to be released this year.
Fans of Titanfall series were expecting the third game Titanfall 3, but it was not the case as with the release of Apex Legends, the developer confirmed that Titanfall 3 was cancelled for Apex Legends.
This came as disappointing news for fans waiting for the third title of the series. However, though it seems that the game is cancelled for now, it is not totally abandoned as a new Titanfall related is in the works to be launched this year.
The news came from none other than the CEO of Respawn Vince Zampella via Twitter. he added that the developers are working on more Titanfall related work this year, and to experiment with the Titanfall universe. This is something that Apex Legends is also featuring in its battle royale game that was met with a lot of positives.
Tons of things planned for @PlayApex in the future. We are also committed to listening to player feedback.
We are also working on more Titanfall for later in the year (yes, I said the T word). We love being able to experiment in this crazy universe!

Though Apex Legends is an experiment in the Titanfall universe, players have expressed some disappointment in not having the same features as Titanfall had in the gameplay. The features that are being talked about are the wall running abilities and mechs. Respawn has responded to the features and simply explained that it did not work in the battle royale format.
For now, Respawn is focusing on Apex Legends with a strong plan to engage fans for a long time. As the service will evolve, more playable characters will be added, and a battle pass will also be introduced to players.
While there is not a lot of information, it is highly likely that there will be more details coming in at this year’s E3 event. Let us know what you think the game should be like. Post your comments below.
