Respawn Entertainment founder and CEO Vince Zampella has confirmed that Titanfall 2 is in development. He also confirmed that the game will release on multiple platforms, meaning it will no longer be an Xbox console exclusive.
“I guess EA announced a sequel, so I could play coy and pretend I don’t know anything about it, or… yeah. So we’re working on a sequel. No official name yet, but we’re working on that. That’s the main focus but we’re starting up a second team and doing some smaller stuff too. Small, exploratory, taking it slow! It’ll be multiplatform.”
When asked what the team would change about the original product, Respawn COO Dusty Welch stated, “Platform for me comes to mind right away.” Zampella stated that the original game wouldn’t have been made were it not for the exclusivity deal.
“if you’re saying what would we have liked to have done? The opportunity to be multiplatform could have made it even more significant for us.”
When asked about what we should expect from a sequel, Zampella remained silent on the matter. He did promise to expand the lore of the series. It’s still not clear whether there will be a single-player component:
“I wouldn’t have done it differently,”
“We set out to do it and it was one of our goals. I mean it obviously prohibits a certain group of people playing the game, and as content creators you want to get into as many peoples’s hands as possible. We put some single-player elements in there though, and tried to mix it up. Maybe we could have mixed things up a bit better because some people blew right by it and didn’t even see it because there was so much action happening around it. It’s tough, because if you hit people over the head with it it becomes intrusive, and there are people who don’t want or care about it. Where does the needle fall? I think it takes a while to figure that out and we haven’t figured it out yet.”
What would you like to see in a Titanfall sequel? I personally would love to see a single-player campaign and an increased player count for multiplayer. The game needs more vehicle variants other than Titans, such as tanks and dropships. We also need some Titan V Monster action, Pacific Rim style.
