While EA doesn't appear to be as worried about Titanfall 2 sales as the rest of us, it seems that Respawn might be, as the studio is currently unsure whether or not it will continue the franchise by making a third game. Titanfall 2 has been a huge success in terms of critical reception, with many praising the campaign and multiplayer changes but in terms of sales, Titanfall 2 hasn't quite managed to match the sales of the original game, despite launching on PS4 in addition to Xbox and PC.
During an interview with Glixel, Respawn Entertainment head, Vince Zampella, hinted that while the studio is happy with critical reception, it is still unsure when it comes to sales: “Titanfall 2 is, critically, a huge success. We're really happy with all the reviews and the positive sentiment. Sales, it's too early to tell.”
When it came to the status of a third Titanfall game, Zampella said: “We don't know yet”, though he also kept the door open by adding that “we'd definitely like to tell more of the story and the universe”.
Either way, it doesn't sound like a sequel would be stopped from going ahead, as EA has said that it is “committed to the franchise” and CEO Andrew Wilson recently defended the game's launch in a call with investors.

KitGuru Says: The big worry for me going into Titanfall 2 was the userbase and unfortunately all of the reports of low sales hasn't given me a ton of confidence that the multiplayer mode will outlast Titanfall 1. However, hopefully things will pick up as time goes on and more maps are added to the game. Have any of you tried Titanfall 2 yet? Do you think you will pick it up eventually?
I will pick up Titanfall 2 eventually.. but I’ve already bought Civ VI, Dishonored 2, Watchdogs 2 (preorder urgh) and the new cod.. so I can’t really afford it just now.
I just think they’d have been better off releasing in March once all the bf1/cod hype has died down.
You chose COD and Watchdogs 2 over Titanfall 2, you don’t deserve a titanfall 3. That’s why so many good games go to ip heaven, I’m looking at you Sleeping dogs 2 ?
I played Watchdogs 1 and previous cod games (campaign only, I won’t touch pvp multiplayer games) and ofc Titanfall was multiplayer only so the new game is the one I dropped.
With you about Sleeping Dogs 2.
Titanfall is a great idea, which obviously takes inspiration from a lot of places. I really love the idea of robots vs. humans vs. robots, but where Titanfall and Titanfall 2 falls short, is execution and severe balance issues. IF they were to pursue a trilogy, they should reconsider a lot of aspects in the game, but if they insist on keeping the gameplay as it is, with slight tweaks, they might as well not do it all.
This is the reason why you don’t have too many blockbusters at once. Everyone is playing COD and BF1.
I’d buy it if it had a longer single player, I’m not really in to frenetic multiplayer personally. Key problem also seems to be packing it in to an already overcrowded release schedule, you can’t shout louder than your already bigger competitors.
