Industry insider Jeff Grubb claims that Respawn is working on AAA first-person shooter. It will have a big focus on “mobility” and “style,” but it is apparently unrelated to theTitanfallfranchise. He mentions that Mohammad Alavi, perhaps best known for his work on theNo Russian level inModern Warfare 2, was the creative director of this title before his departure a couple of days ago. While every rumor should be taken with a grain of salt, Grubb does have an excellent track record of accurately leaking industry info.

The game is rumored to be in the earlier phases of the development cycle andRespawndoes not intend to scrap the project. According to Grubb, EA expects this game to launch in 2024 or 2025, with the next year or so being spent on developing prototypes. Respawn will continue working onApex Legendsand the sequel toStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Orderalongside this third game.

It does seem like this new IP is a spiritual successor toTitanfallin some ways, as both are AAA first-person shooters designed around mobility. Many fans want to see Respawn work on a newTitanfallgame, but this is probably the next best thing. However, this new project is supposedly a single-player-only game, whereas theTitanfallgames had a big focus on multiplayer.
