It's going to be near completion (if they ever start it) and EA will sell respawn (or themselves) to a much larger company who's executives will look at it and think "this doesn't look enough like a live service hero shooter, and what are these "titans"? This isn't japan!!" and cancel the entire project and shutter the studio a week before reveal.

The sick irony is that between the 2 distinct approaches to titans, there's room for a fantastic hero shooter where the titans function as long run ults.

The PC / meatbag is a generic or, fuck it, a Apex bro/sis, and their ult is a Titanfall. Add some leveled / unique loadout options like 1 to the focused classes of 2 and its an easy win.

At least it is for this nerd on the internet who knows fuck all about VG development and mainstream gaming habits in 2025.

Hah, I like your optimism! In reality they'll shutter the studio a week after the reveal.
