Respawn Entertainment is looking for people to work on a new video game, and while many would expect that to mean thatTitanfall 3is on the horizon, it turns out that development is starting on a new IP.
The developer ofTitanfall 2andApex Legends,Respawn Entertainment, has been hitting home runs in the first-person shooter genre for a long time now. Many fans have become desperate for a sequel toTitanfall 2, as it has been nearly five years since its release in October of 2016. With the five-year mark officially looming in 2021, fans were possibly expecting some sort of announcement regarding a newTitanfallgame, especially withApex Legendsbeingsuch a massive money-maker for Respawn in recent years.

Respawn Entertainment still appears to be looking for people to join itsApex Legendsteam, with several software engineer positions available on its careers page. This seems to indicate that while development will be beginning on Respawn Entertainment’s new IP, the company intends to continue updating and patchingApex Legendsfor a while into the future. With season nine ofApex Legendsunderway, andnew hero Valkyrie added to the rosterof playable characters, it doesn’t seem like development is slowing on the hit battle royale.
Development onApex Legendsmay indeed be the key aspect to Respawn Entertainment not working onTitanfall 3, as in all likelihood, theApexteam would be the ones to handle any futureTitanfallprojects. If a new IP is being made, along with continual updates forApex Legendsandthe newApex Legendsmobile game, it could mean that fans will have to wait several more years beforeTitanfall 3could potentially enter development.
Many of the responses to the tweets regarding the job openings for Respawn Entertainment’s new IP were melancholy, with fans lamenting the potential loss of hope for the release ofTitanfall 3.However, given the popularity of theTitanfallfranchise, and the constantTitanfallcontent making its way intoApex Legends, it would be premature to assume that Respawn Entertainment wouldn’t want to capitalize onTitanfalleventually, especially if the player count forApex Legendswere to decrease.
