According with Respawn Entertainment Producer Drew McCoy Titanfall 3 is not in development, and tells that Respawn it’s focused on selling loot boxes as it’s “the perfect plan for marketing”.
When EA acquired Respawn Entertainment in 2017 some Titanfall fans where nervous about EA’s business practices, but the publisher along with the developers told fans that a next game in the franchise was planed, but it’s was the fans’ surprise and most likely their disprove, that what they had been working on it’s a battle royale game focused on micro-transactions.
“There are some people who think there are too many battle royale games or it’s a fad, the world thinks we’re making Titanfall 3 and we’re not – this is what we’re making,” McCoy told Eurogamer.
“We’re doing a free to play game, with essentially loot boxes, after we were bought by EA, and it’s not Titanfall 3. It’s the perfect recipe for a marketing plan to go awry, so why have that – let’s just ship the game and let players play.”
Drew McCoy also revealed what’s behind not revealing any details about the development about this free to play-battle royale game, it’s seemed that EA was well aware about the backlash that hardcore Titanfall fans will express very soon in Reddit and Youtube, so they wanted to show the game as it’s and hope for the best.
“Our desire is to be completely open and transparent with our player base, and part of that expands to how we talk about problems, and we understand this game is gonna have a sceptical audience,” McCoy told me.
“There are some people who think there are too many battle royale games or it’s a fad, the world thinks we’re making Titanfall 3 and we’re not – this is what we’re making.
“To try and convince a sceptical audience for months with trailers and hands-on articles, we’re just like ‘let the game speak for itself’ – it’s the most powerful antidote to potential problems.”
