“Titanfall 2” (Titanfall 2) produced by Respawn Entertainment in 2016 is a classic masterpiece in the hearts of all fans, but it is a pity that the sequel “Titanfall 3” has not been seen for many years. It is related to the decision-making of EA’s high-level executives, but according to the former developer of “Titans 2”, the cancellation of the third generation does not seem to be EA’s fault, but the decision to reborn itself.
The person who revealed this news was the former Iranian game designer Mohammad Alavi of Respawn Studios. He is best known for developing the well-known mission “Crew Expendable” in “Decisive Moment: Modern Warfare” in 2007 and the sniper level “All Ghillied Up” and the designer behind the 2009 Modern Warfare 2 story mission “No Russian”.
After that, Alavi came to Rebirth Studio in 2010. He not only assisted in the development of the first and second generations of “Titans Coming”, but also participated in the story brand development of “Apex Heroes”. After leaving Rebirth, he joined the team consisting of several Rebirth members. Wildlight Entertainment invested in new project development.
Going back to “Titanfall”, Alavi revealed in an interview with the host of “The Burnettwork” that Rebirth had developed “Titanfall 3” for regarding 10 months, and also made a “playable version”. However, the team responsible for the multiplayer mode was struggling with how to solve the difficulties encountered by the previous two generations of games, because in fact, there were not many players in the multiplayer mode of “Titanfall”.
“There are people who like the multiplayer in Titanfall 2,” Alavi said. “But the number of people who like the multiplayer in Titanfall 2 is very limited. Most people will get tired of it following a while. They will say , “It’s a great multiplayer game, but I mightn’t keep playing it for a year or two. “”
However, the advent of “PUBG” (Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds; PUBG) changed everything. Reborn members became fascinated by this battle royale game, and used the mods of “Titans 3” to create their own battle royale game mode. This is the predecessor of the later “Apex Heroes”.
“I had just become the lead story designer for Titanfall 3, and I had just come up with a story for the game that I and Manny (probably Respawn narrative director Manny Hagopian) had come up with, and had a big presentation, and then we went on vacation. , we talked regarding it following the holidays, and we said, “Yeah, we need to change direction, we have to go make this game.”
“We actually canceled Titanfall 3 ourselves because we thought, we can make this game, it’s going to be a slightly better version of Titanfall 2, or we can do that,” Alavi said. , because it’s obviously an amazing game.”
“It was a crazy shift. So crazy that EA didn’t know it for six months until we built a working prototype and showed them.”
According to Alavi’s description, when Vince Zampella, co-founder of Respawn Studios, briefed EA executives on “Apex Heroes”, although Alavi was not present, he heard that the reaction was not good.
Alavi smiled in the interview and imagined that EA executives might shout, “We bought the studio to have the “Titanfall” IP so that you can make “Titanfall 3″, and then you ran to tell We you guys going to make a free-to-play game that isn’t Titanfall? What the hell is going on?”
I uh… I don’t understand why this blew up. This isn’t news. It’s been public knowledge that TF3 was in development before the team pivoted to Apex Legends. It’s no mystery that the Titanfall team made Apex or that experimentation in TF3 development led to Apex.

However, Alavi emphasized that this is the case. Although EA bears the most notorious game company meme, the responsibility of “Titanfall 3” cannot be attributed to them. After the news was exposed, it also triggered discussions overseas. Obviously, EA really took the innocent charge this time.
Still, players looking forward to Titanfall 3 still have hope. Respawn CEO Vince Zampella said in April that he hoped to make that happen someday, but before the studio took action,Must make sure “everything is in the right direction”。
