Eerder deze week kwamen we te weten dat er kennelijk achter de schermen van EA en Respawn Entertainment gewerkt werd aan een Titanfall/Apex Legends-project onder de naam ‘Titanfall Legends’, wat nu geannuleerd zou zijn. Jeff Grubb van GiantBomb gaf in een recente livestream wat uitleg (getranscribeerd door VGC.)

Het plan was om Titanfall Legends te doen aansluiten bij het Apex Legends universum als een singleplayer campagne:

“Titanfall Legends was not Titanfall 3, because in a lot of people’s minds I think Titanfall 3 was going to be a new, standalone game with a single-player campaign and a multiplayer, and they could just never do that again after Apex Legends changed the calculus on all of those things.

In two weeks from now Apex Legends is going to get team deathmatch, and that was always part of a plan to turn Apex Legends into this platform where you could get all kinds of different shooter experiences from an expanded Apex Legends / Titanfall world.

Titanfall Legends was always supposed to slot in as part of that… Titanfall Legends would be a single-player campaign inside of this platform, in the same way Call of Duty works where you get Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone is right there as well.”

Deze geannuleerde singleplayer campagne zou personages van beide universa samen hebben gebracht, inclusief superkrachten om mee te experimenteren.

“They were going to have the legends show up and give you special powers throughout the game, so they could tie it to Apex Legends in a really strong way.

In Titanfall Legends you would discover that Rampart, one of the characters from Apex Legends, has discovered the chassis of BT, brought BT back to life, and BT is this really special titan now, and interacted with something called ‘The Lost Ark’, which was the one thing in the universe that could track down all these parts, and whoever gets them then becomes super powerful.”

Jammer genoeg lijkt het erop dat we Titanfall Legends dus nooit zullen kunnen ervaren.
