Titanfall 3: Will we ever get a sequel?
Titanfall and Titanfall 2 advanced the first-person shooter genre in exciting ways. Over three years have passed since the follow-up released, and fans continue to hope for a third installment — one that may never come.
Titanfall launched in 2014 as the highly-anticipated debut from Vince Zampella and Jason West's new studio. A well-publicized shakeup at Activision in 2010 led many members of the Infinity Ward staff to leave and form Respawn Entertainment. Respawn's first title, distributed by EA, became an exciting evolution of the genre, adding parkour and mech elements to refresh the usual shooter cliches.
In late 2016, the sequel included a welcome single-player campaign missing in the first installment, along with time travel and new movement mechanics. Despite these improvements, Titanfall 2 failed to meet sales exceptions, likely because it released between Battlefield and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. Since then, fans have been teased by news of more Titanfall, but no additional games have been forthcoming. Well, except for Apex Legends, a battle royale set in the same universe.
Player still love the franchise, and it seems like the shooter could have a promising future — if it returned with the type of innovation it brought to the industry with the first two installments. Are fans holding out for a day that will never arrive? Take a look.
