The latest reveals on 'Titanfall 2' is that this sequel to Multiplayer First Person Shooter title from Respawn Entertainment is predicted to get a release date in December of 2017 but might or might not be as a multiplatform video game.
As reported last month, speculations arose that the follow-up game would not just be an Xbox One exclusive when Electronic Arts CFO Blake Jorgensen said,
"Last year it was on the Xbox only; in the future, we haven't yet announced, but we'll probably have another Titanfall game. It will probably be a bigger footprint than just a single platform. I think that's a huge positive for us."
At this point, it remains unconfirmed that the game whether it's an Xbox exclusive or not but a number of game pundits believe that 'Titanfall 2' will be heading to PS4 console other than Xbox One.
However, in a recent interview with Gamingbolt, Wedbush Securities' Michael Patcher thinks that Microsoft might try a timed exclusive deal with EA and Respawn similar to the case of 'Rise of the Tomb Raider' release.
Patcher said:
"Respawn Entertainment made a game [Titanfall] in about four years with 75 guys. And Vince Zampella will have a new game on multiple platforms probably in three years. He'll beef up the studio and he is really good at it.
So I would expect, since Titanfall came out in March of '14, you'll see Titanfall 2 probably by Holiday of '17, so I expect that they'll announce it at next year's E3, a year from now. But yes it will be a multiplatform game and yes, Microsoft will offer something for a timed exclusive,"
Amid this ongoing console war between PS4 and Xbox One, Patcher went on saying, "There's so much time between now and Holiday of '17. Let's see if Sony continues to advance, and continues to outpace Xbox One in sales, then no, I don't think you're ever going to see a title that's Xbox One exclusive.
If Sony keeps the lead, I mean, they're roughly outselling the Xbox by 50% or more, then no. Nobody would. By then you're talking about 65 or 80 million PS4s and 40 or 50 million Xbox Ones. Nobody's going to give away the potential to sell 60 million more copies of a game."
The 'Titanfall 2' is tipped to get a release date December 2017 as a multiplatform game unless Microsoft makes a move for a timed excluside deal with Respawn Entertainment and EA. Stay tuned.
