"With Titanfall 2, we built on the dynamic Pilot and Titan
gameplay established with the first Titanfall to deliver an
experience that is deeper, more refined, yet still as fun as ever," said
Vince Zampella, CEO of Respawn Entertainment. "In single player, we've
crafted something that is unlike any other campaign out there, and in
multiplayer, we once again deliver gameplay that feels, plays, and looks
great."
Featuring the first single player campaign in the series' history, Titanfall
2 delivers a carefully crafted action-adventure experience that
provides a vibrant mix of exciting, innovative gameplay that brings
fresh ideas and mechanics to the shooter genre. Following a failed
Militia assault on the IMC planet of Typhon, Militia rifleman Jack
Cooper must team up with BT-7274, a Vanguard-class Titan, to uphold a
mission they were never meant to carry out. Over the course of the
campaign, Jack and BT-7274 must work together to overcome insurmountable
odds, and along the way realize that they are unstoppable together.
In multiplayer, Respawn builds on the dynamic Pilot and Titan gameplay
to once again deliver an experience that is fast, fluid, and fun.
Whether it's fighting as a Pilot - the agile, mobile, and incredibly
deadly apex-predators of the Frontier - or one of six all-new Titans -
20-foot-tall war machines wrapped in armor - Titanfall 2 delivers
a deep, robust experience that is unmatched. Titanfall 2 also
introduces Networks, an in-game social hub that serves as player's home
base during multiplayer. Making it fast and easy to play with friends
both old and new, Networks range from casual to competitive. Each
Network will also be able to take advantage of a daily Happy Hour, where
each player within that Network gets bonus Merits they can use to unlock
in-game items quicker.
Following the release of Titanfall 2, all post-launch maps,
modes, and weapons will be available for free to all Titanfall 2 players.
This all starts on December 2*, when Respawn releases Angel City - the
remastered fan favorite map from the original Titanfall.
