Main series[edit]
Titanfall 1
Titanfall[edit]
Titanfall, the first game in the series, was released for Xbox consoles, on Xbox One and Xbox 360 on March 11, 2014. The game was mainly multiplayer focused with no real single-player campaign included. Instead, there were single-player missions included that served as a way for the player to learn the mechanics of the game.
Titanfall 2[edit]
Titanfall 2 was released on October 28, 2016 for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Microsoft Windows. This time, the game included a single-player campaign with a full-fledged story. Many of the mechanics from Titanfall returned, including maps in multiplayer. The game received several free updates after its launch, including a returning multiplayer mode known as Frontier Defense. The level 'Effect and Cause' in particular was well-received.
Spin-offs[edit]
Titanfall: Assault[edit]
Titanfall: Assault was a top-downreal-time strategy game for mobile platforms in the style of Clash Royale. It was developed by Particle City and Respawn Entertainment, published by Nexon, and released for iOS and Android[1] in August 2017.[2][3] In July 31, 2018, Titanfall: Assault was removed from Google Play shortly after the servers are shut down.
Apex Legends[edit]
Apex Legends is a battle royale game that features hero shooter mechanics and the first major platform spin-off for the series. While the game is not directly tied to Titanfall, many of its assets and gameplay features were based on Titanfall 2. Although Apex Legends takes place in the Titanfall universe, the games do not run parallel to each other.[4] The game was released in 2019 for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Microsoft Windows, and in 2021 for Nintendo Switch as a free-to-play game. The game was met with positive critical reception.[5] The game holds the record for the most players signed up in 1 week at 25 million.[6] The game currently has a playerbase of 100 million people.[7] The game also has mobile releases planned for 2022.
Cancelled[edit]
Titanfall: Frontline[edit]
Titanfall: Frontline was a collectible card game that was played in real-time. The player collects and places Pilot, Titan, and burn cards to damage and defeat their opponent. Pilot and Titan cards can combine to perform extra damage.[8] In January 2017, Titanfall: Frontline was cancelled.[9]
Titanfall Online[edit]
In 2016, EA had announced that it was partnering with Nexon to create an Asian market specific version of Titanfall called Titanfall Online, similar to Counter-Strike Online and Call of Duty Online.[10] This version was based on the first Titanfall rather than its sequel, with some slight differences like four main pilots in the game, the introduction of a new titan, and a new map. Titanfall Online had a closed beta in 2017.[11]Titanfall Online was canceled on July 9, 2018, primarily due to poor reception during testing and a changing market.[12]
Development[edit]
Titanfall is the first game developed by Respawn Entertainment, a developer founded by Jason West and Vince Zampella. As ex-employees of Infinity Ward, they helped create the Call of Duty franchise. The two were fired after contract disputes.[13][14]
