There was talk about aTitanfallproject releasing in 2019, but it wasdelayed due to more focus onApex Legends. That said, when will fans get the next slice ofTitanfall?Fans can hope 2020 will bring them the third installment, and fortunately, there are plenty of reasons whyTitanfall 3should happen.
10Battle Royale Isn’t For Everyone
Battle royale games are just a skip and hop away from first-person shooters. Many players in one of these genres can easily jump into the other for satisfying gameplay. However, the past few years have been oversaturated with battle royale games.
Respawn did an excellent job of taking the genre and spinning it on its head. Unfortunately, many fans of the series were hoping for a more traditionalTitanfallexperience.Titanfall 3would be able to satisfy the need of those FPS fans while also potentially keeping the battle royale genre going if it came with its own spin.
9Expansion Of The Titanfall Universe
Apex Legendsis very much set in theTitanfalluniverse, and it certainly brings more lore into the fold. However, it does not provide the same singleplayer drive that the last installment brought.Titanfall 2shoehorned in a lot of new concepts, characters, devices, and more.
Titanfall 3would give players even more lore set in the universe. Fans of the series are certainly craving a singleplayer that will continue the story ofJack Cooperand his fellow Militia comrades. Plus, Respawn Entertainment left fans on a bit of a cliffhanger.
8Resolve That Cliffhanger
Titanfall 2has an amazing story between a Militia pilot and his titan. Jack Cooper and BT-7274 have a unique relationship in the game. They are quickly thrown together after the death of a fellow pilot. Both of them then learn about each other throughout the campaign.

Once the credits roll, players are left with what seems to be a definitive ending. However, an after credit scene leaves players with a bit of hope for a specific character.Titanfall 3will or should give fans the closure they need from the last installment.
7Redeem Titanfall 2’s Financial Failure
Titanfall 2may have received critical acclaim, but it did not meet the expectations of Respawn and Electronic Arts. The primary reason the game did not meet financial success was that the game’s release fell between two other major FPS titles:Call of DutyandBattlefield.
Since then, fans and critics have raved about how good the game is to those who slept on it.Titanfall 3would certainly deserve the right release date so it could show everyone how great theTitanfallfranchise really is.
6Titans!
Apex Legendshas great gunplay, the movement is smooth, and the art is stylish. On the other hand, it is missing ten foot tall mechs. The biggest appeal of theTitanfallfranchise is titans. In a way of thinking it could be said that they replace killstreaks, but everyone gets one regardless.
Titan gameplay is also very different from pilot gameplay. It was the juxtaposition of these two roles that made the gameplay in both games so unique. Pilots are fast and agile, while titans are slow and lumbering.Titanfall 3would bring the iconic titans back into the spotlight of the franchise.
5Wall Running And Double Jumping
Two other key mechanics missing inApex Legendsare wall running and double jumping. The characters have jump kits, but they are only used when dropping into the arena. BothTitanfallgames have equally smooth movement mechanics, but with greater mobility. The second game added sliding, which added a third way of speeding through the map.
Double jumping and wall running aren’t truly unique to this franchise, but it’s one of the things they did best. Other FPS franchises tried to follow Respawn’s take on movement after its popularization, but were unsuccessful. Fans of the series have certainly craved these two mechanics since the last installment.
4First-Person Shooter Innovation
In general, Respawn Entertainment is an innovator when it comes to video games. They added mechanics toFPS gamesthat were unlike anything before. They also changed the battle royale genre by adding characters with specific abilities. It is these changes and tweaks to a standard genre that make their games distinct.

Respawn has innovated each and every game they have worked on. They have included game mechanics to genres that many wouldn’t believe.Titanfall 3would certainly be a time when Respawn innovated again.
3Respawn Makes Great Games
Vince Zampella, the founder of Respawn Entertainment, is a video game industry champion. He has created a number of excellent games such as the originalMedal of Honorseries, and he created Infinity Ward, which set the standard forCall of Dutygames. Zampella knows how to run a studio and create phenomenal video games.
Of course, all of Respawn’s games have been critically successful. The launch of the first singleplayer Star Wars game in several years was a massive hit with fans.Titanfall 3would be far from normal and would push the envelope of what most know as theTitanfallfranchise.
2A Premium Titanfall Experience
Apex Legendsis a free game and is certainly monetized like one. Players may spend money on the skins and loot boxes, but the experience will never be like that of the first twoTitanfallgames. Buying those games gave players a premium experience thatApex Legendsreally can’t give.
Downloadable content forTitanfall 2was free. Respawn added weapons, maps, game modes, and even a new titan.Apex Legendshas also added a slew of content for free, but players must save to purchase new characters or use real currency.Titanfall 3would most likely follow the same business model as the previous game, which is more bang for your buck.
1Titanfall Is In Respawn’s Blood
The first game of a studio is always the most precious.Titanfallis the first game Respawn Entertainment set out to create. The game featured such standout features like titans, wall running, and double jumping.Titanfall 2continued that passion by improving what was wrong with the first game. Plus, they got to bring theTitanfallfranchise to even more players.
Above all,Titanfallwill always be in the blood of Respawn Entertainment. The developers are certainly fond of the series, and the universe orApex Legendsmay never have been born. That said,Titanfall 3would return the developers and the fans to what they love the most.
