[Update] Respawn Boss Says It's 'Heavily Invested Inwards The Titanfall Universe,' Whatsoever That Means

Vince Zampella calls the game successful, but remains cagey virtually its future.

The sci-fi FPS Titanfall 2 was an outstanding game that, for diverse reasons, didn't sell particularly well. But it was "successful," according to an interview Respawn Entertainment CEO Vince Zampella gave to Gamespot, as well as the studio is "heavily invested" inwards the setting. But whether that agency we'll encounter Titanfall 3 anytime shortly is about other interrogation entirely.
"The game was successful, it sold well, but it didn't quite sell every bit good every bit it should have. Maybe because it was super crowded, the pricing was aggressive—it was a stone oil window to launch our game," Zampella said. "But we've got a actually swell fanbase. There's non actually much negativity or acidity compared to other communities, as well as thence I'm rattling thankful for that."
"It's of import for us to maintain the franchise going. 'We're doing to a greater extent than Titanfall,' which is the quote I'm supposed to say. We bring our franchise creative director, who's inwards accuse of safeguarding the franchise inwards multiple formats as well as making sure as shooting it continues to grow. There's about other things we're doing that haven't been announced but yet, but we're heavily invested inwards the Titanfall universe."
As statements go, that's pretty open-ended—and inwards fact the adjacent game inwards the franchise is a mobile RTS called Titanfall: Assault, which is going into total unloose adjacent week. Combined amongst Zampella's less-than-committed "supposed to say" comment, it sounds similar a novel Titanfall FPS is far from a certainty, at to the lowest degree inwards the curt term. (Everything comes dorsum eventually, subsequently all.)
To my reading, there's a rattling distinct echo hither of Zampella's 2016 comment virtually staying committed to the franchise, "whatever the fuck that means."
Zampella besides touched on the recent unloose of Operation Frontier Shield, which included the novel Frontier Defense mode, maxim that the histrion count during its unloose was "like v times the numbers since the initial launch ... There's 2 or 3 times every bit many people playing Frontier Defense correct directly than all other multiplayer modes combined. That's rattling encouraging for us."
Over on the official Respawn Twitter account, they were fifty-fifty to a greater extent than specific amongst the figures:

We had nearly a meg unique players playing Titanfall 2 over the terminal week! Awesome to encounter fans checking out our novel content. pic.twitter.com/gjc1GvEZfpAugust 3, 2017

Unfortunately, Frontier Defense volition besides likely hold out the terminal major content update for Titanfall 2, Zampella said. "We desire to function on novel stuff." For now, if y'all are i of those novel or returning players, why non banking concern gibe out our guide to the best guns inwards the game.
