‘Yeah, we need to pivot’: Ex-Respawn dev explains how PUBG’s release transformed Titanfall 3’s development into Apex Legends
Titanfall 2 was released back on Oct. 28, 2016, and garnered the attention of many devout fans of Respawn, hoping to one day see the next entry in their series. Despite many rumors surrounding the possible existence of Titanfall 3, there was never any clear evidence of its development—until now.
YouTube channel THE BURNETTWORK conducted a recent interview with Mohammad Alavi, former narrative lead designer at Respawn, revealing the rumors were true: Titanfall 3 was in active development at Respawn, and had been in active development for 10 months before the studio switched gears to focus on Apex Legends.
