AlthoughTitanfallandTitanfall 2have built up a decent fan base in the years since their release,Respawn Entertainment has yet to confirmif a third entry is in development. Fans had their suspicions and there have been rumors, but earlier this week a community coordinator for Respawn shot down those hopes. Now, Respawn is back-tracking on that individual’s claims and once again renewing hope that aTitanfall 3might eventually be a reality.
Discussions aroundTitanfall 3initially started after Respawn Community Coordinator Jason Garza answered a question about the sequel during a livestream. Garza didn’t mince words, explaining thatRespawn has nothing in the works forTitanfall 3. He even went so far as to say there is “nothing there.”

This, of course, set off theTitanfallfan base, who have held out hope that Respawn Entertainment might eventually developTitanfall 3. The topic was trending on Twitter, with many voicing their frustrations - so much so that Respawn Entertainment’s Twitter account had to chime in and calm those concerns. The account’s message explained that Titanfall is the core of Respawn’s DNA and left fans with a cryptic, “Who knows what the future holds…”
While Respawn Entertainment has every right to set the record straight on incorrect information, the “reporting” that the studio is referencing comes from comments made by its own Community Coordinator. This was not rumors or speculation based on an insider, but the words of someone from within the Respawn team.
On top of that if anyone or anything would know what the future holds forTitanfallit would Respawn Entertainment. So leaving things cryptic like that suggests that the message was more about calming fans down than confirming Titanfall 3 is in the cards. Respawn has not shied away from explaining why it chose not to makeTitanfall 3and instead put itsefforts intoApex Legends, which has proven a big success for the developer.
In addition toApex Legends’ development, Respawn Entertainment also has the presumedStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Ordersequelin the works and a mysterious project as well. IfTitanfall 3were in the works then it would be after both of those and would likely be competing for development attention from theApex Legendsteam.
But Jason Garza is a pretty good source for information about Respawn Entertainment’s goings-on, even if he maybe didn’t phrase things in the best way. He shut the door completely, more or less, while Respawn wanted to keep it slightly ajar for the fans. Maybe at some point Respawn Entertainment will announceTitanfall 3but it doesn’t look like it is happening anytime soon, contrary to the correction the studio issued to Garza’s statements.
