Jeez. This sucks but im not surprised whatsoever. Now, im just awaiting news for their Star Wars game to be cancelled as that wouldn't surprise me either.

[Eurogamer] Titanfall 3 is NOT in development. Apex Legends is the main focus.

I did wonder about Titanfall 3 and the Star Wars game being in developmemt at the same time. Hopefully the Star Wars game is okay, and hopefully they return to Titanfall at some point.
...where they are probably working on a BR mode right now lol
I don't think the studios proper are on the BR, I think it's the support teams handling that load.
Makes 100% sense.
Apex gets them into next gen as to not have to make Titanfall 3 cross-platform. Gives them a revenue stream while they work on TF3 for next-gen only.
Mark it down.

Bungie has almost 800 employees and Ubisoft Montreal has close 4000 employees. Treyarch has only 250 employees but they only 1 game at a time. 300 for 3 projects is not that much.
Dissapointed, but understandable. The money is in BR, not vertical shooters. There's a reason every AAA shooters went back to boots on the ground.
I'm going to go out on a limb a suggest that if apex legends bombs titan fall 3 will be very soon out. Anyone want to bet me?
Well looking at Twitch I doubt this will bomb. Streamers seem to really really like it and I can see why.
Unfortunate to hear, I adored both Titanfall games. I don't really find Battle Royale games to be fun so I'll probably not stick around with Apex, but I hope it succeeds. Who knows, maybe it'll lead into another thing if it's big enough..maybe.
If it bombs Respawn will get gibbed.
Fucking EA, fucking BR, and fucking f2p is a recipe for disaster.
That's sort of a separate team with a lot of veterans from Sony Santa Monica that were laid off several years back. Folks who worked on God of War 3 / Ascension. In that context it makes a lot of sense why Respawn started doing a lightsaber combat game as their Star Wars pitch - they had an influx of people with 3rd person character action experience.
Everything we've heard is that EA and Respawn seemed very pleased with how development was going on that game. Obviously things could change but no reason to assume anything bad thus far. We'll see if it hits its 2019 release window.
Oh shit, probably.
I hope the next infinity ward game plays like TF. If titanfall was rebranded as a COD game it would have sold amazingly.
Depressing for all of us that loved the TF2 single player
But hey let's put our optimist suits on
Following this and the star wars game later this year. TF3 should be a cert right?
Yeah!

I don't think so, even if they decided to make TF3 it would be a ways off because respawn has to support apex. TF3 as a next gen game is at least 3 or 4 years away.
Their current GaaS models aren't best for consumers who are into offline SP gaming outside of Sports titles, and looking at Anthem & BFV it's probably not best for consumers, period, but whatever. I'm not saying don't have a GaaS presence, or even several projects in that space, just that's it's unfortunate that GaaS/MP seems to be 95℅ of their business these days when they have control over so many classic SP franchises that are either dead, dying, or dormant.
In f2p it is. It's questionable and conditional when it's in $60 games.
How's Activision any better than EA in that regard? Haven't you seen all the stories about Blizzard the past several months?
well that's life & reality.
If TF2 sold 20+ million copies, then I'm sure EA would have greenlit TF3
TF2 didn't sell well relatively speaking (to its budget and resources), so this is the result.
The original Titanfall came out when I was in the tail-end of my college degree and was another clear-as-day harbinger telling me to not go into the business as it was clearly moving in a direction with its game-designs-at-large that I detest. The reason I say that is because Titanfall's game design was a light in a pitch black tunnel for me in that it was a game focused on taut, mechanical focused design: a few variables operating within a well designed structure, built around player visual intuition first and foremost with a focus on the mechanical play and 'sense of presence' for the player/user within a virtual/3D space.
I was in classes that were all about 'game design' more or less, and I was so hyped & excited for Titanfall. I was loving it, as it embodied the kind of design ethos that I loved and place the most importance on. I was pretty much the only person in my classes that was even talking about Titanfall. And when I did talk about it, most of the "gamerz" didn't care. It wasn't free. Pilot combat was the most fun. There 'wasn't enough diversity with the titans'. There wasn't enough things to chase. Who cares that the game was fun, it didn't have the systems.
When people weren't excited about Titanfall, I knew that the business was moving in this kind of direction.
100% not surprising that Titanfall died. The mob rejected it at a fundamental level. They didn't get it then, and they never will. The majority of video game players don't value good game design, they value themselves.

Good luck to everyone involved,I hope it makes EA lots of money.Damn,it feels good to say that now I no longer give two fucks what games they publish,I have zero interest in any of them.
I wonder how they will manage to fuck up Jedi Fallen Order if it actually releases(I'd give it a 50/50 chance).

Great post. Titanfall had absolutely incredible gameplay. It's such a shame.
And then Titanfall 3 releases in the middle of November with no marketing campaign against the new Battlefield and Call of Duty or something and the general public ignores it/doesn't know it exists.
