Respawn CEO Would Love to Make Another Titanfall, But There Are No Plans Just Now [IGN]

Respawn Entertainment’s CEO Vince Zampella has said he would love to make another Titanfall game but it’s not on the cards yet.

Speaking to Barron’s, Zampella spoke about the possibility of developing Titanfall 3 but he said there aren’t any plans for the studio to do so at the moment.

He said he doesn’t get fans’ hopes up because if he says yes, they’ll get disappointed when it doesn’t come. However, if Titanfall 3 does come to be, it would have to be the right project and at the right time.

“It has to be the right thing,” Zampella said. “It’s such a beloved franchise for the fans and also for us. If it is not the right moment in time, the right idea, then it just doesn’t make sense.”

This reiteration comes nearly three months after EA cancelled a secret single-player Titanfall game codenamed Titanfall Legends, which is set in the same universe as Titanfall and Apex Legends. This cancellation came after the mobile versions of Apex Legends and Battlefield were shut down.

In September 2021, Titanfall’s community coordinator Jason Garza said it was unlikely that Respawn would develop Titanfall 3, as it was focusing on improving Titanfall 2 and Apex Legends, the latter of which had quickly grown in popularity ever since it shadow-dropped two years prior. The former game fell short of its projected sales, but still managed to gain a cult following.

The company also shifted its focus to Star Wars following the success of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Its sequel, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, launches on April 28, and director Stig Asmussen wants to make Cal Kestis’s story a trilogy.
