Respawn’s shooter team is seemingly placing all of its focus on the free-to-play battle royale shooter Apex Legends, so don’t expect a new Titanfall anytime soon. Studio head Vince Zampella confirmed that there are currently no Titanfall games in development at Respawn, even if Zampella would personally like the series to return in some way. “There’s nothing currently in development,” Zampella told IGN. “But it’s always there. You see the little bits of stuff coming back [through the lore in Apex Legends]. At some point, I would personally like to see some kind of resurrection there. We’ll see if I can make that happen.”
This is confirmation that the Titanfall game Respawn had in development has been cancelled. Though the developer initially denied having any Titanfall games in the works, Zampella later revealed that the team is working on a new Titanfall project for release later in 2019, which EA said would bring a new twist to the series. That was the last and only time that game had been mentioned, which makes today’s news a bit heartbreaking. It’s not all bad, however, as Zampella teased some sort of announcement from Respawn at EA Play in June - though that could obviously be new Apex Legends content.
