Since the release of Titanfall 2 in 2016 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, many players have been demanding a sequel in vain. Despite the years that have passed, Electronic Arts doesn't seem to see the point in reviving the franchise, even though this installment was very well received, particularly due to its solid single-player campaign. Despite the lack of positive signals about a new installment, rumors have been circulating for several weeks that Titanfall 3 is on the way. But all of this could be just a huge mess....
Titanfall's fate definitively sealed? A canceled game!
Unfortunately, it's the carnage at Electronic Arts that has resulted in between 300 and 400 layoffs, including around a hundred at Respawn Entertainment. The studio behind Apex Legends, Star Wars Jedi Survivor, and Titanfall. "We have made the decision to cancel two incubator projects and make adjustments to our workforce around Apex Legends and Star Wars Jedi 3," the studio said. So if Star Wars Jedi 3 is saved, we have bad news for you if you were waiting for the return of the Titanfall license.
According to information from the very serious Jason Schreier, one of the two canceled projects does indeed concern Titanfall. "The canceled project, codenamed R7, was an extraction shooter set in the Titanfall universe, according to people familiar with its development. It wasn't about to be released," the journalist explained. Is this the famous Titanfall 3 mentioned by people in the Apex Legends community? It looks like it. in light of the latest rumors. Osvaldatore, a battle royale specialist, had announced that a game with a single-player campaign and a main multiplayer mode, "Extraction," was in the pipeline.
So it's not out of the question that these might be two games that had Extraction in common, but it seems unlikely. This canceled R7 project may be the new game that journalist Jeff Grubbs referred to in 2024. He also commented on the announcement of Respawn's layoffs with the following sentence: " There will be no Titanfall 3, as should be clear."
