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.

I mean, I'm all for a sequel to the game, just I hope it doesn't become a yearly thing like CoD where it starts to feel warn out.

Invictus This will ruin the series I already know.


How will this ruin the series if it is not even a series yet? Plus how does putting on the PS4 ruin Titanfall?

The game was so unique and amazing so I don't know how you didn't like it.

I have never liked you, and never will. You have horrible tastes in games. If your a Call of Duty or a Halo player you would love this game.

Thespian They do great with battlefield but they have some bad servers. The only thing I want them to focus on now is Battlefront 3


Yeah i agree there been waiting ages for the game but titanfall should be okay in EA's hands.
