ACCORDING TO REPORTS, THE TITANFALL GAME THAT WAS CANCELED LAST WEEK WAS “AN APEX LEGENDS CAMPAIGN.”
According to Reports, Electronic Arts Reportedly Shelved the Unannounced Titanfall Game Last Week. It Was Reportedly Intended to Be a Single-player Expansion for Apex Legends.
That is what Giant Bomb writer Jeff Grubb allegedly said during a live stream on Thursday after Bloomberg had said that a team of roughly 50 people had been working on “Titanfall Legends” at Respawn.
When Mohammad Alavi left the EA studio last year, he was working on a new single-player adventure game based in a “unique universe,” which the studio revealed was in development in July 2021.
According to Grubb, Respawn tried to include a “Titanfall-feeling project” into its wildly successful free-to-play spin-off, Apex Legends, with the unknown project.

“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,” he said.
“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.”
Grubb claims that instead of encouraging players to “play it like Call of Duty,” the new campaign was designed with special abilities like wall running in mind.
Characters from Apex Legends as well as BT, the titan companion mentioned in Titanfall 2’s plot, would have appeared in the campaign. According to the rumors, players would control the Apex Legends character Blisk and use BT to travel about and level up.
“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,” Grubb claimed.
According to Bloomberg, employees who were working on the canceled single-player game and who couldn’t be transferred to other teams will receive severance pay and be let go..
