Titanfall Series Director is Developing an Original New IP, Respawn’s Zampella Reveals

wccftech.com:

The game director on the Titanfall series, Steve Fukuda, is working on an original new IP, Respawn Entertainment's Vince Zampella has revealed.

The co-founder of Respawn Entertainment and Infinity Ward co-founder said as much in a new interview with Axios, in which he was asked about the Battlefield series, the new Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and of course, the Titanfall series.

The EA-owned studio is currently working on two Star Wars projects, including a first-person shooter inspired by the Jedi Knight series. Many would like to see a new Titanfall installment as well, including Zampella himself, but according to the industry veteran, the timing for a new entry has to be right.

"We're not working on anything currently", Zampella said recently when asked about Titanfall 3. "I hate to say yes, then people latch onto that and then skewer you when it doesn't come. But I would love to see it happen is the real answer. There [are] no exact dedicated plans for that."

He added, "It has to be the right thing. It's such a beloved franchise for the fans and also for us. If it is not the right moment in time, the right idea, then it just doesn't make sense."

Luckily, Titanfall fans might have something to look out for as Zampella did reveal that Titanfall's game director is working on something new with a small team. "And while it is not working on a sequel to its beloved Titanfall franchise (it would love to but nothing's in the works, Zampella tells Axios), that series’ game director, Steve Fukuda, is leading a “very small,” “skunkworks” team at Respawn: “The mission is to find the fun in something new.", the Axios article reads.

Interesting stuff and we can't wait to hear more about this original new IP from Respawn. As always, we
