After a month filled with hints and heated discussions, Titanfall fans are beginning to lose hope of the announcement of the third part of the game.
Last month, developer Respawn sparked controversy by suddenly introducing a number of fixes and improvements to Titanfall 2. Interest was heightened when the team added a mysterious “???” playlist to the game. and mentioned Titanfall in the patch notes for Apex Legends. Fans even looked for clues in the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ discography, which, according to some, was bordering on absurdity.
Titanfall and Apex Legends not only share an Easter egg, but also a shared universe. This is known to everyone who is even more or less familiar with Respawn games. However, recent references between the games have apparently culminated in the announcement of a new character for Apex Legends.
A new animated video from Stories from the Outlands introduces the character Conduit, who will be joining the Apex Legends roster in Season 19. In the video, she talks about how Titan saved her village. Years later, she travels to the Titan’s remains and appears to absorb nuclear energy by touching its core.
On the Titanfall subreddit, posts and comments read:
— The new Apex trailer features Titans and I’m afraid I’m losing hope.
“Everything led to this moment.”
– If they use the hype around Titanfall for the sake of Apex, this is a blow below the belt.
Some users say they are not ready to play the new Apex season, even if they add playable Titans.
This announcement seems to have upset the community as it could end hopes for Titanfall 3, although many are also concerned about the strangeness of the “origin story”. Fans are confused that Titans, instead of killing machines, now give superpowers.
At least Respawn has breathed life into Titanfall 2, which means some fans will continue to wait for the studio to make a sequel. The series deserves it, and Apex Legends brought in more than enough revenue to justify the development of a threequel.
