Last Sunday, we revealed that “the future of Titanfall” was set to be discussed at the big Austin, TX launch event for the game – even if Respawn Entertainment’s own Vince Zampella didn’t know much about it himself. Last night, it was announced that Titanfall will soon be getting its own stunning live-action series called Titanfall: Free the Frontier, and there’s an awesome teaser trailer to celebrate.
Titanfall: Free the Frontier is the result of a collaboration between developer Respawn (c’mon Vince, didn’t you know that?) and relatively unknown special effects house Playfight. If the teaser trailer is anything to go by, we’ll be seeing a lot more of Playfight in the future. Check it out below:
“Titanfall is set in a rich near future universe with visceral, epic battles with Pilots and their Titan companions” noted Dusty Welch of Respawn. “We wanted to partner with Playfight, who has a history of delivering movies that meld gameplay, live action and stellar CG into truly entertaining media, for Titanfall. What this collaboration brings is yet to unfold…”
It’s all very mysterious then, but there’s no question Microsoft, EA, and Respawn are throwing some serious money at the Titanfall franchise to make it a flagship game for the Xbox One. The official word is that Playfight have “begun laying the foundation for the creation of original content within the vast expanse of the Titanfall universe.”
Titanfall was released in North America yesterday to glowing review scores.
