EA buys ‘Titanfall’ studio Respawn

Titanfall 2 didn’t do as well as expected when it came out, leaving the future for the game a bit uncertain. At least, the studio doesn’t seem to be suffering the same fate. EA just announced it acquired Respawn in a deal valued over US$400 million. EA has previously published two Titanfall games so the acquisition doesn’t come as a surprise.

The two are already working on a few projects. One is a third-person Star Wars game, which was announced back in May 2016. Another is a virtual reality experience. And last is another title for the Titanfall universe. What isn’t known is if it’ll be Titanfall 3 or a mobile version of the game.
