Star Wars fans are disappointed with the cancellation of EA and Respawn’s FPS title based around the Mandalorian, due to layoffs and other cost-cutting strategies, it paved the way for the Titanfall universe to make a comeback.
Titanfall launched back in 2014 where it features first-person combat and was just a multiplayer title until Respawn worked on Titanfall 2 released in 2016, no mainline follow-up was released since then and fans are hoping for a third sequel, which may not be the case.
The Upcoming Titanfall Could Feature Some Ideas Of Respawn’s Cancelled Star Wars Game
While this is a positive sign that despite the layoffs, cancellations, and changes that are happening internally, Respawn Entertainment held its head up high and continued its work. Though, a new Star Wars game set outside the Star Wars Jedi series would be a nice change of pace, perhaps one day the project will be resurrected, or concepts of the canned game will manifest in some way in other projects.
The universe of Titanfall heavily resembles that of a galaxy far, far away, and the fact players use Titans to fight other players in the multiplayer mode. Reports from Insider Gaming claim that the director of the first two games is working on a new project set within the same universe, could it be a battle royale or a linear story, no one knows for sure.
… OK. Look. It's not Titanfall 3. But it does seem like it will involve Titans in some way. https://t.co/JPpA1RlVkB

According to the reporter Jeff Grubb, the upcoming game is not a Titanfall sequel, but it will include Titans. It seems that Electronic Arts (EA) has faith in its original intellectual property instead of relying on popular media franchises like Star Wars. EA’s original games have been highly successful and well-received by fans. Despite the immense popularity of The Mandalorian in the Star Wars universe, EA has chosen to prioritize Marvel’s Iron Man for their upcoming game.
While the likelihood of another multiplayer game for EA is low, Apex Legends is a massive triumph for the company, and wouldn’t want to divide its community and development team’s focus, there is always a possibility it will incorporate the early ideas for the canceled Star Wars project and rename it into a Titanfall game.
The Mandalorian Fell So Titanfall Could Rise
The Mandalorian had the potential to be another hit for Respawn, given its surge in popularity and intriguing storyline. However, the studio deserves commendation for its dedication to its intellectual property, expanding and elevating it to new heights. Director Steve Fukuda is currently working on something truly remarkable.
Respawn doesn’t need to make another game based on someone else’s IP, they were doing fine with the original Titanfall games and did even better when they shifted gears and worked on Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order and the sequel which is a display of their flexibility, skill, and talent to make great games and achieve new heights.
