Respawn Developing Third Person Action Game
A Gamasutra (h/t via Gamespot) job posting has revealed that that Titanfall Respawn Entertainment is developing a second game project alongside Titanfall 2. What’s more? The game will be a third-person action game, unlike the first-person shooter style of the Titanfall series.
Per the posting, Respawn is searching for a senior level designer and recruiting designers “for two game development projects–a new game in the Titanfall universe as well as a new 3rd person action/adventure IP.” In addition, the posting reads: “Respawn is seeking a Senior Level Designer to embrace and contribute to the project vision, breathing life into the gameplay world and helping define the moment to moment player experience.”
It was previously revealed that the studio was developing a second game along with Titanfall 2 in December 2014. The game is unrelated to the Titanfall series. However, this is the first mention that it will be a third-person action game title.
Titanfall was a pretty big success for Respawn. The game sold over 4.6 million copies across the Xbox One, Xbox 360 and Windows PC platforms (via VGChartz). So now that Respawn has Titanfall under its belt, it will be interesting to see what the developer comes up with next. The game transitioning to the third-person action game front makes it even more interesting.
Respawn’s next game, Titanfall 2, is likely due out later this year. Unlike the first game, it’s slated for a multi-platform release on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Windows PC.
