Final week, EA introduced that it could be shedding 670 folks throughout the entire firm, and a part of that meant to cancellation of tasks like Respawn’s now not upcoming Star Wars FPS sport.
Nevertheless not all is misplaced on Respawn making Star Wars video games and FPS video games. Apex Legends will proceed to be round for the foreseeable future, and the Jedi collection of video games are nonetheless a-go.
And in accordance with a brand new report, there’s one other undertaking that’s nonetheless swimming within the wake of this mass wave of layoffs, and that’s the one being led by former Titanfall director Steve Fuduka, which is now claimed to be set throughout the Titanfall universe.
Earlier than you get your hopes up although, it’s additionally reportedly not Titanfall 3. This all comes from Jeff Grubb on his Video games Mess Mornings present, the place Grubb claims to disclose just a few unknown particulars about what Fuduka is as much as.
“There are at all times dialog about Titanfall 3. At any time when I do look into it, they’re not making Titanfall 3, they only straight up aren’t.”
However simply as Apex Legends exists throughout the Titanfall universe, with EA’s latest shift in direction of emphasizing IP that it owns, the group Fuduka is main might very effectively be on a journey to future increase that universe.
“They do have one other group that has been kicking round a skunkworks undertaking, that was in very early [prototyping].
There’s completely different phases of prototyping, there’s a really early, very small group prototyping section, and now they’re going to a go to a wider, like it is a actual undertaking now, however nonetheless within the prototyping section, and that has occurred with that sport, and that’s from the director of the unique Titanfall.
This sport, because it stands at this time, so far as I perceive, is a ‘Titanfall sport,’ it’s within the Titanfall universe. However everybody I discuss to retains saying, effectively it’s not, don’t get in your thoughts that it’s Titanfall 3, like a sport with on-line multiplayer and a single-player campagin.
I’m like, effectively wait, what, then how is, what is that this sport? I nonetheless don’t know. But it surely appears like, in case you are making an attempt to go all-in by yourself IP, simply increase that into being Titanfall 3, work out a method to make that occur.
After which I’m reminded that they had been engaged on Titanfall 3 basically with Titanfall Legends, which was going to be part of Apex Legends, they usually pulled the rug out from beneath that, so it appears not possible that they might change their technique and return and truly find yourself making Titanfall 3.”
Titanfall Legends simply may’ve been what followers had been ready years for earlier than EA cancelled it. No matter this sport is, it’ll be attention-grabbing to see the place Respawn take the Titanfall universe subsequent.
Hopefully there are some Titans on this one.
