Respawn Entertainment’s next game is reportedly now in the prototype phase and is set in theTitanfalluniverse.
During the latest episode ofGame Mess Mornings, Giant Bomb reporter Jeff Grubb spoke on Respawn’s known projects following the news that parent company Electronic Arts hadcanceled itsStar Warsfirst-person shooteralongside job cuts.
While we know thatRespawn is currently developing a new original titlewith development led byTitanfallandTitfanfall 2director Steve Fukada, there isn’t much to go on by now. However, according to Grubb, the game is in the early stages of prototyping, and, although it’s said to be separate from theTitanfallseries, theupcoming gameis reportedly set in the same shared universe (viaVGC).
“There are always conversations aboutTitanfall 3. Whenever I do look into it, they’re not makingTitanfall 3, they just straight up aren’t,” Grubb said.
“They do have another team that has been kicking around a skunkworks project, that was in very early [prototyping],” he continued. “There [are] different phases of prototyping, there’s a very early, very small team prototyping phase, and now they’re going to go to a wider [form of development] like this is a real project now, but still in the prototyping phase, and that has happened with that game, and that is from the director of the originalTitanfall.
“This game, as it stands today, as far as I understand, is a ‘Titanfallgame’, it’s in theTitanfalluniverse. But everyone I talk to keeps saying, well it’s not, don’t get in you’re mind that it’sTitanfall 3, like a game with online multiplayer and a single-player campaign. I’m like, well wait, what, then how is, what is this game? I still don’t know.”
Grubb goes on to say that Respawn was initially working onTitanfall Legendsbefore it was canceled last year. The reporter claims that this game was going to directly link to the studio’s popular battle royaleApex Legendsby featuring not onlyTitanfall’s BT companion but alsoApex’s characters.

The concept was supposed to have “the legends show up and give you special powers throughout the game, so they could tie it toApex Legendsin a really strong way.”
“The thinking there was that more people have playedApex Legendsthan have ever heard ofTitanfall, so they were really going to lean into that,” Grubb added.
