A welcome addition to the battle royale genre it may have been back in 2019, but for Apex Legends to live, developer Respawn Entertainment had to sacrifice the future of a well-loved series. While the developer would have undoubtedly been hoping for its, at the time, pet project to prove successful, nobody could have anticipated the overnight success enjoyed by Fortnite‘s eventual competitor, having immediately become a sensation on streaming platforms such as Twitch despite a total lack of pre-release publicity.
Now boasting millions of players across multiple platforms, Apex‘s unforeseen popularity has left Respawn with little time to revisit the first-person shooter series that single-handedly put it on the map, leaving the future of Titanfall 3 in jeopardy. Publisher EA has commented previously that, should time permit in the future, a trilogy-making third game could happen, but that for now, all focus would be on supporting one of the company’s biggest moneymakers.
