Titanfall 3 may not happen, according to Respawn co-founder Vince Zampella. When asked about the possibility, Zampella told Glixel “We don’t know.” Despite that the fact has been a clear critical success, sales haven’t matched review’s enthusiasm for the game. It’s simply too early to tell if a sequel makes sense yet.
“We’d definitely like to tell more of the story and the universe.
“I think it’s pretty safe to assume that we’ll explore more of it. EA might have announced more.”
Titanfall 2 had the unfortunate pleasure of launching at the same time as Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. On top of that, it had to compete with the Modern Warfare remaster and ultimately Battlefield 1. All three are huge releases, and Zampella actually built the Call of Duty brand for Infinity Ward and Modern Warfare. He was going up against the company he built.
What makes no sense is why it was released in the same timeframe as EA’s other big shooter, Battlefield 1. If Titanfall 2 were pushed back to January, it would have been a sure success. It’s even a nominee for Game of the Year according to The Game Awards.
Titanfall 3 may not happen, but it should.
