The big news around the gaming world at the moment seems to be that TitanFall 2 may have already been locked up by EA and will be a multiplatform title. While that isn’t the most outrageous thing to hit the interwebs, the fact is that this is all rumor with zero confirmation from anyone on the issue. Both Respawn Entertainment and EA have yet to make any indication that a TitanFall 2 is being hashed out in any way/shape/form, meaning a lot of journalists owning PlayStation 3/4 consoles are running with hopes and dreams that this epic shooter will be available on their platform in the future. The reports are so outrageous that even Respawn Entertainment have loosely commented on the reports and simply retained their commitment to their current product and that they have no plans for a TitanFall 2 at the moment.
Any sequel, whether it happens or not, wouldn’t be here for roughly 3 years if Respawn Entertainment haven’t truly begun work on a successor. This would make a lot of sense for a studio that is still relatively new and doesn’t have the manpower to juggle multiple titles at once, especially when their first game launch ever is one that is still incomplete (according to the devs). No matter what console(s) you own, look at TitanFall now and not the future as EA has likely not inked any deals with Respawn over a TitanFall successor at this time and Microsoft could easily make an offer to publish the next title should the money and opportunities be right. Microsoft would be smart to put a bid down to lock this up in some form to keep incentives toward their Xbox One platform which has started to see surges in sales in February and March which could net them some makeup ground against rival Sony.
Then again, perhaps by the time Titanfall 2 could come around the Xbox One will have caught up and surpassed the PS4 like many analysts predicted prior to the consoles launching, leaving the need to have Titanfall exclusive as an afterthought. Respawn Entertainment will have their hands full if this comes to pass, since Titanfall launched well but does suffer for a few hiccups simply because the game isn’t entirely finished. We’ve reported about EA being way too gung-ho about pushing games out the door before they’re done, but imagine adding 2-3 new consoles (Nintendo, PlayStation) to the mix to work with and test. It could be a challenge to get a 2nd Titanfall out the door in the next three years and we now know that EA isn’t afraid to birth a baby premature.
