Respawn is 'working on more Titanfall,' studio CEO says

Respawn Entertainment took the wraps off the Titanfall-set battle royale Apex Legends yesterday, and it turned out to be really good. It is not, however, Titanfall 3, which in the wake of the unexpectedly excellent Titanfall 2 is something that fans of more conventional shooters (like myself) would really like to hear about.   

Yesterday, Apex Legends lead producer Drew McCoy poured cold water on those hot hopes when he said that despite what you may have heard, Respawn is not making Titanfall 3. Today, however, Respawn CEO Vince Zampella said this: 

Before anyone gets too excited, bear in mind that "more Titanfall" could refer to just about anything related to the series. It could be a mobile game, or a mode for Apex Legends, or a comic book; it could be The Apex Scrolls, a new digital card game where you put tiny cards inside of big cards. (Full credit to Steven and James for that idea.) The only thing we can say for certain is that it is not the "realistic VR war game" Respawn announced in 2017: One of Zampella's followers asked about that and he replied with a resounding, "No!"

Wild speculation is fun, but I would not (like, really not) bet the farm on a surprise announcement about Titanfall 3 coming out for the holidays. But an announcement that Titanfall 3 is coming sometime? That, I could see: Electronic Arts said in an October 2018 earnings call that Respawn has multiple games in development: EA CFO Blake Jorgensen said at the time that "you should assume that there will be some things that we haven't announced that come out later in the year when we go to give guidance for next year."
