Rumor: Titanfall 2 rights secured by EA, won't be Microsoft-exclusive

4.2
Electronic Arts has the rights to publish the sequel to Respawn shooter Titanfall, according to what GameSpot describes as a "reputable source." EA refused to comment on "rumor and speculation" to GameSpot, but the site says EA's option to secure the rights was based on the first game's sales performance.

Polygon backs the claim EA secured the rights to a Titanfall sequel, adding that according to its sources the game won't be a Microsoft exclusive. EA is only releasing Titanfall on Xbox One, Xbox 360, and Windows PC.

While EA is refusing to comment and the sources' claims aren't confirmed, the bits and pieces we've heard from EA and Respawn seem to back up the speculation. Respawn co-founder Vince Zampella already assured fans that his studio will make games for the PS4, just "not the first Titanfall." EA Chief Financial Officer Blake Jorgensen previously said, "I'm sure that there will be future Titanfalls at some point that may be on multiple product platforms. [I] don't know, that's up to the teams that are going through that now."

In any case, the Xbox 360 is still waiting on the first Titanfall. The Bluepoint-developed version was due to hit the platform on March 25, but EA delayed it yesterday to early April.

fub Titanfall has just released and 2 is being rumoured, jesus!


I know it's a bit early lol.
We will probably see Titanfall 2 in a year or 2.


i hope they don't do it yearly just like cod cause it might get repetitive i want them to actually take their time.


Well, you're looking at entire thing wrong. We can already speculate a Titanfall 2, why would they not make one? Whens the last time a very successful game was a standalone?

What they are saying here is that Titanfall 2 is not bound by contracts to only be released on X1. No details of the game are being released so I don't see why anyone is shocked.

Too bad respawn is incapable of making a semi decent single player campaign. Only reason I haven't bought it yet is because the campaign is multiplayer

Already following the steps of CoD. I will be mad if it comes out next year.


titanfall sucks, so i mean.............


It sucks in some categories but the game itself isn't a bad game its actually a really great game. I see it as a big contender to Battlefield and CoD
