Respawn Entertainment's next game is reportedly now in the prototype phase and is set in the Titanfall universe.
During the latest episode of Game Mess Mornings, Giant Bomb reporter Jeff Grubb discussed Respawn's known projects following the news that parent company Electronic Arts had canceled its Star Wars first person shooter along with job cuts.
While we know that Respawn is currently developing a new original title with development led by Titanfall and Titanfall 2 director Steve Fukada, there's not much to do right now. However, according to Grubb, the game is in the early stages of prototyping and while it is said to be separate from the Titanfall series, the upcoming game is reportedly set in the same shared universe (via VGC).
“There are always conversations about Titanfall 3. Every time I look into it, they are not doing Titanfall 3They just aren't,” Grubb said.
“They have another team that has been kicking around on a Skunkworks project, which was in its infancy.” [prototyping]”he continued. “There are [are] different prototyping phases, there is a very early and very small team prototyping phase, and now they are going to move into a larger phase. [form of development] This is a real project now, but still in the prototyping phase, and that has happened with that game, and that's from the director of the original. Titanfall.
“This game, as it stands today, as far as I understand, is a 'Titanfall game', is in the Titanfall universe. But everyone I talk to keeps saying, well, it's not, don't think it is like that. Titanfall 3, as a game with online multiplayer and a single-player campaign. I'm like, well, wait, what? So what is it like? What is this game? I do not know yet”.
Grubb goes on to say that Respawn was initially working on titan fall legends before it was canceled last year. The reporter states that this game was going to link directly to the studio's popular battle royale. Apex Legends presenting not only TitanfallBT's companion, but also AppendixCharacters.
The concept was supposed to be that “legends would appear and give you special powers throughout the game, so they could link it to Apex legends in a really strong way.”
“The idea was that more people had played Apex legends what i have ever heard of Titanfallso they were really going to lean into that,” Grubb added.
