Titanfall 2 – a sequel is probably never going to happen (EA)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

An insider has claimed a cancelled Titanfall project was actually very close to completion, despite what others have reported.<\/p>\n

A sequel to Titanfall 2<\/a> has been rumoured for years, but it always seemed unlikely after the last game failed to meet EA<\/a>’s sales expectations.<\/p>\n

The hopes of a sequel were recently stoked by prominent leakers<\/a> for developer Respawn’s other shooter, Apex Legends, who claimed the next Titanfall game was an extraction shooter which was ‘almost complete’ and would be announced next year.<\/p>\n

Other insiders refuted this idea, but the existence of another Titanfall project was thrust back into the spotlight when developer Respawn announced the cancellation<\/a> of ‘two early-stage incubation projects’ earlier this week.<\/p>\n

According to Bloomberg<\/a>’s Jason Schreier, one of these cancelled projects was an extraction shooter set in the Titanfall universe, codenamed R7. ‘It was not close to being released,’ the report states.<\/p>\n

Following the project’s cancellation, the two original leakers, Osvaldatore and Yorotsuki, have now doubled down on their claims, insisting it was actually ‘almost finished’.<\/p>\n

‘Titanfall 3 is gone,’ Osvaldatore wrote on X. ‘Spoke again with source earlier this morning and everything about it was correct, including the ‘almost finished’, despite what that Bloomberg article said.’<\/p>\n

While Schreier does have a very strong track record, and Respawn itself said it was in the ‘early stage’, these leakers were the first to suggest that it was an extraction shooter \u2013 so it seems they do have some insider knowledge.<\/p>\n

The biggest question is whether it was actually Titanfall 3<\/em>, or if it was, like Apex Legends, merely set in the same fictional universe. The latter would make more sense, as Titanfall 2, while critically acclaimed, wasn’t exactly a commercial hit.<\/p>\n

Back in 2023, former Titanfall developer Mohammad Alavi revealed Respawn had worked ‘in earnest’ on Titanfall 3<\/a> for ‘about 10 months’, before it was ditched in favour of Apex Legends.<\/p>\n
