EA has acquired Respawn Entertainment, the developers of Titanfall. EA paid $151 million for the initial purchase of Respawn.
While questions regarding the relationship between the 2 have been questioned since the release of Titanfall 2 now those concerns can be put to rest. Despite receiving mostly positive reviews and excellent feedback from the community Titanfall 2 did not meet expectations sales-wise due to launching between Battlefield 1 and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.
This is good news because in a press release EA confirmed a new Titanfall game, however, the title was not announced. In addition, the studio will be developing a Star Wars game and considering that the studio houses the masterminds behind Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, it's safe to say that it'll be an FPS.
If that wasn't enough the studio is also working on a VR project. However, Respawn is not willing to share any information about the project yet, only that Oculus is involved.
Considering EA's recent decisions to shut down Visceral Games and the comments against single-player games many are still skeptical whether this will effect Titanfall's future. The current game not only featured a robust single-player campaign but free post-launch content. As of now it's good to see that this wonderful franchise will continue.
Titanfall 2 is now available for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
