And it’s not supposed to be Titanfall 3, which makes it even more incomprehensible.

Respawn Entertainment, who had their Star Wars FPS canceled by Electronic Arts, are not only working on a third Star Wars Jedi, but also have a Titanfall project in the works. Jeff Grubb, who writes for Giant Bomb, talked about this on the latest episode of Game Mess Mornings: “There’s always talk about Titanfall 3. Whenever I look into it, they’re not making Titanfall 3, they’re just not. They have another team that is kicking around a skunkworks project that was in very early [prototyping]. There are different stages of prototyping, there’s a very early, very small team prototyping stage, and now they’re going to go to a broader, like this is a real project now, but still in the prototyping stage, and that’s what happened with this game, and that’s from the director of the original Titanfall. This game as it stands today, as far as I understand it, is a “Titanfall game”, it’s in the Titanfall universe.

I’m like, well wait, what, then what is, what is this game? I still don’t know. But it feels like if you are trying to go all in on your own IP, just expand that into being Titanfall 3, figure out a way to make that happen. And then I’m reminded that they were essentially working on Titanfall 3 with Titanfall Legends, which was going to be part of Apex Legends, and they pulled the rug out from under that, so it seems very unlikely that they would change their strategy and go back and actually end up making Titanfall 3,” Grubb said.

In February 2023, Bloomberg reported that Electronic Arts had canceled Titanfall Legends, an unannounced Apex Legends game in development at Respawn Entertainment. In addition to the main characters of Apex Legends, the game would have featured BT from Titanfall 2…
