Titanfall 2 is coming back in a big way but don’t expect a Titanfall 3 announcement anytime soon.
- Titanfall 2 has experienced a resurgence due to a surprise patch addressing its long-standing server issues.
- A cryptic teaser found in Titanfall 2 and Apex Legends has led to speculation about the future of the Titanfall franchise.
- While Titanfall 3 is unlikely, a crossover event in Apex Legends might be on the horizon.
Titanfall 2, widely considered as one of the greatest first-person shooter games ever created, has had a stunning resurgence following years of relative neglect.
Regarding Respawn Entertainment‘s future plans for the game, there has been a lot of conjecture among the gaming community after a surprise patch resolved the game’s persistent server problems.
Titanfall 2’s servers had seen better days; hackers had often targeted them, leading to disconnect problems. Gamers that used the PC version encountered a special and annoying issue. Players would have to disconnect from matchmaking if they couldn’t find an active server within minutes. This is especially disheartening for a 2016 game that doesn’t have the vibrant player base that more recent games do.
But the most recent patch, which appeared out of nowhere, has drastically altered the terrain. Gamers observed that the enduring PC server glitch has been fixed. Along with the technical adjustment, users discovered their first playlist updates on a regular basis in a very long time. Players with a keen eye noticed that certain map regions that had out-of-bounds exploits were fixed. Interestingly, a miniature plush version of Nessie, the mascot of Respawn’s newest game, Apex Legends, was placed at each set point.
It is possible to question why Titanfall 2 is suddenly becoming so popular. Similar to rarely updated online games like DOTA 2 and Team Fortress 2, users are jokingly recounting stories about the one “janitor” at Respawn Entertainment who is finally getting time to work on the game.
All kidding aside, the unexpected patch fixed network problems and added new features, the most notable of which was Attack on Titanfall, a game mode that quickly increased the game’s user base on Steam.
Then there’s the enigma surrounding the mysterious teaser that was shown in a recent Apex Legends update as well as Titanfall 2. The snippet of text that appears is “Incoming Transmission Subject: Nessie 1394521200, 1477638000, 1549267200.”
It may appear random to the uninformed that these numbers exist. Nevertheless, more research reveals that these are actually Unix timestamps for the release dates of Titanfall, Titanfall 2, and Apex Legends.
This mysterious clue has led to a lot of wild speculation. Although many fans have considered Titanfall 3 to be their ideal game, the project’s previous course suggests uncertainty. There are several within Respawn that are committed to seeing Titanfall 3 through to completion. It is well known that Respawn was originally working on the game. Still, the concept changed into what is currently known as Apex Legends due to the growing popularity of battle royale games.
Respawn Entertainment, a well-known brand in the gaming world, may have the power to bring the Titanfall series back to life. Given the difficulties encountered by rival first-person shooters like as Battlefield, Respawn’s stellar reputation may serve as the main motivator for EA to reinvest in Titanfall.
Though Titanfall 3’s future is still unknown, the community’s optimism has returned. The return of Titanfall 2, with its distinct gameplay, highlights the game’s ongoing appeal. It’s a cry for fans to buckle up and enjoy the journey once more, regardless of whether it signals the release of a sequel, an event in Apex Legends, or simply the return of a beloved game.
