Stand by for Titanfall
It sounds likeApex Legendswill be doing some more digging into the broaderTitanfalluniverse. Respawn Entertainment’s battle royale is in the same setting as theTitanfallseries, though not the same point in time; and with Season 9, it sounds likeApexwill be leaning more into that side of things.
As reported byDexerto, a recent panel hosted byBrown Girl Gamer Codebrought on severalApexdevelopers. During the discussion, game director Chad Grenier said there was more in store forTitanfallcontent crossing over intoApex Legends.
“Next season, Season 9, you’re actually going to see a ton ofTitanfallcoming back into the game in one way or another,”said Grenier. “I’ve told some people before, if you’re aTitanfallfan, hang on for Season 9 because there’s gonna be some really cool stuff there.”
Senior writer Ashley Reed also discussed howApex Legends’place in the timeline informs the relationship between the battle royale and the universe at large.
“What’s going on inTitanfallis a war, so it’s very much a war story”said Reed. “Apexis what happens after the war, like what is life like in this place, so we’re trying to integrateTitanfallinto that, becauseTitanfall‘s very much […] a part of the universe, but it’s a piece of something very much bigger.”
The two already share a lot of weaponry and broader lore, though what moreTitanfallcontent means could stretch across a lot. Titans dropping from the skies or not, it’ll be nice to see more references to the games that kicked all of this off.
