Although many understandably want to brush under the rug that is the launch for Xbox One, there is also good that came from the start of Xbox’s third generation of console. For one, Respawn Entertainment’s inaugural release, Titanfall. While Call of Duty and Battlefield ruled the first-person shooter landscape, former Infinity Ward Vince Zampella pressed the envelope with this new IP.
The game was followed-up with a sequel which broke console exclusivity offering a PlayStation 4 version alongside the current Apex Legends battle royale we know today, it all started with Titanfall. However, the game now inching closer to a decade is officially being delisted from online stores this week.
Respawn Entertainment has shared that the game will be supporting the servers for years to come to the dedicated players that still log in. However, the game will not be available for purchase and to soon be removed from online services later on in 2022.
“We’ve made the decision to discontinue the sale of the original Titanfall game starting today [December 11 2021] and we’ll be removing the game from subscription service on March 1, 2022. We will, however, be keeping servers live for the dedicated fanbase still playing and those who one the game and are looking to drop into a match,” the team writes in the letterhead.
In terms of future plans for Respawn Entertainment, the firm has not been vocal on the decision to push Titanfall for another sequel. Despite fans hungry since Titanfall 2 shipped in 2016, much of the story is being siphoned through Apex Legends currently. However, there are claims development already began for the suspected Titanfall 3 game.
The team is also working on a new unannounced IP currently as well. With work already presumed on a sequel for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order as well, the new series comes from a job listing for the Respawn Entertainment referencing “adventuring forever”.
More recently, a string of leaks from NVIDIA GeForce Now reveals Titanfall 3 and the unnamed IP. The list has proven to be accurate with games such as Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – Definitive Edition alongside God of War for PC. You can read the original report by heading here.
