Titanfall 2 \u2013 a sequel is probably never going to happen (EA)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

An insider has claimed a cancelled Titanfall project was actually very close to completion, despite what others have reported.<\/p>\n

A sequel to Titanfall 2<\/a> has been rumoured for years, but it always seemed unlikely after the last game failed to meet EA<\/a>\u2019s sales expectations.<\/p>\n

The hopes of a sequel were recently stoked by prominent leakers<\/a> for developer Respawn\u2019s other shooter, Apex Legends, who claimed the next Titanfall game was an extraction shooter which was \u2018almost complete\u2019 and would be announced next year.<\/p>\n

Other insiders refuted this idea, but the existence of another Titanfall project was thrust back into the spotlight when developer Respawn announced the cancellation<\/a> of \u2018two early-stage incubation projects\u2019 earlier this week.<\/p>\n

According to Bloomberg<\/a>\u2019s Jason Schreier, one of these cancelled projects was an extraction shooter set in the Titanfall universe, codenamed R7. \u2018It was not close to being released,\u2019 the report states.<\/p>\n

Following the project\u2019s cancellation, the two original leakers, Osvaldatore and Yorotsuki, have now doubled down on their claims, insisting it was actually \u2018almost finished\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018Titanfall 3 is gone,\u2019 Osvaldatore wrote on X. \u2018Spoke again with source earlier this morning and everything about it was correct, including the \u2018almost finished\u2019, despite what that Bloomberg article said.\u2019<\/p>\n

While Schreier does have a very strong track record, and Respawn itself said it was in the \u2018early stage\u2019, these leakers were the first to suggest that it was an extraction shooter \u2013 so it seems they do have some insider knowledge.<\/p>\n

The biggest question is whether it was actually Titanfall 3<\/em>, or if it was, like Apex Legends, merely set in the same fictional universe. The latter would make more sense, as Titanfall 2, while critically acclaimed, wasn\u2019t exactly a commercial hit.<\/p>\n

Back in 2023, former Titanfall developer Mohammad Alavi revealed Respawn had worked \u2018in earnest\u2019 on Titanfall 3<\/a> for \u2018about 10 months\u2019, before it was ditched in favour of Apex Legends.<\/p>\n
