Respawn Entertainment is going to great lengths to get new players into the world of Titanfall 2.
Alongside EA's help, Respawn has now released a free trial for Titanfall 2 that will allow players to try out the game before purchasing it.
The trial has launched as a freebie for those with EA Access or Origin Access. Alternatively, those without EA/Origin Access can pay $4.99 for the first month, cancel their subscription and then use their first month to play the Titanfall 2 trial. The best option though, is for players to wait till December 2nd and pick up the trial for free - at this point, even those without Origin Access will have the ability to play the trial on PS4, Xbox One or PC.
The Titanfall 2 trial will end on December 4 - after the trial ends, players will be able to purchase the game if they'd like to continue with the stats they left with. The trial will be limited to multiplayer, but there will be no content restrictions and the trial can be played without

Titanfall was perhaps the most unique first person shooter to be released over the last few years, but the trouble with the first game was that it was quite lacking in content. Fortunately the Respawn Entertainment team have had much more space the second time round to add lots of additional gameplay content.
We don't know much about the gameplay content available in Titanfall 2, but more details are starting to pour in. Recently it was revealed that Titanfall 2 will have 6 different titan types, all of which will have their own unique abilities.
First up we have Northstar, an agile titan with weapons that can snipe other titans and soldiers from a distance. Next we have Legion, a support class titan that can use it's variety of ballistics to help defend areas and keep other enemies at bay.
The third Titan is called Ronin - as the name suggests, this titan is useful up close and personal and holds a samurai-like vibe. Ronin has a phase shift ability that will help him

The second beta for Titanfall 2 has now gone live for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 and you can still get the chance to play it right now. The main goal for this beta from Respawn Entertainment's perspective is to stress test the servers, so it's very easy to get into the beta on both the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4. You can download the Titanfall 2 multiplayer stress test from both the Xbox Games Store and the PlayStation Store from your consoles.
If you miss the beta this time, don't fret, we'd expect there to be at least another multiplayer stress test before the game gets a final release. Speaking of which, Titanfall 2 is now scheduled for release on October 28 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
Available gameplay content in the beta is understandably quite limited, but this new beta test did see a small addition of new content added. A number of game fixes and tweaks have been made during the beta test, too, so it's clear that Respawn Entertainment still have quite a

The EA Play event will take the place of EA's usual booth at E3 this year. At the event, visitors will get the chance to play a number of upcoming games for free. All of the games on the list are pretty exciting upcoming titles so there's a lot to get hyped up for.
Even if you can't make it down to the EA Play Event yourself, there’s no doubt that a lot of juicy information will come from EA's booth and will make its way onto the internet. We're talking gameplay from Battlefield 1, NHL 17, NFL 17, FIFA 17 and even Titanfall 2.
All of the sports games are yearly releases so there's nothing too exciting there, although we are interested to see what changes will be made and what new content will be added this year round. Battlefield 1 is definitely exciting to see - we can't wait to see some gameplay. Titanfall 2 is perhaps the wild card here - we haven't yet seen any promotional material for the game and it is set for release later in 2016.
It'll be interesting to see

Star Wars is going to blow up. Again. The revitalization of the Star Wars franchise is being charged ahead by plenty of big time companies, including the likes of Disney and EA. On the gameplay front, EA has a huge amount of resources at their disposal to use as they please, one such resource being Respawn Entertainment, the development team that launched Titanfall.
Whilst Respawn Entertainment are currently working on the development of Titanfall 2, they've also undertaken the task to develop a brand new Star Wars title. We know absolutely nothing about the title yet, other than it will be considered an "all-new third-person action adventure game set in the Star Wars universe."
Don't worry if you're concerned about Respawn juggling too much at once. They might be the biggest development team out there but rumors suggest that Titanfall 2 is nearing completion and it may even be launching later this year, so this leaves a lot of the current development team with little to work

After a whole year of rumors, Respawn Entertainment have finally spoken about the possibility of Titanfall 2, and everything has now been set in stone.
Just a few days after the anniversary of Titanfall, Respawn CEO Vince Zampella revealed some details about Titanfall 2 in a new interview with IGN.
Whilst EA has mentioned that a new Titanfall was in the works, Respawn Entertainment, the studio that actually develops the game, has not said anything about the title till now. In the IGN interview, Zampella mentioned that they are "working on a sequel."
"No official name yet, but we're working on that. That's the main focus but we're starting up a second team and doing some smaller stuff too," Zampella said. "Small, exploratory, taking it slow."
Perhaps the most important thing Zampella mentioned was that the new Titanfall game will "be multiplatform." Whilst Zampella didn't specifically say it, it's pretty clear that Zampella means that the game will be releasing

Titanfall originally released on the Xbox One, Xbox 360 and the PC, making it an exclusive for Microsoft platforms. Whilst it wasn't confirmed, at the time of the release, many were assuming that Titanfall would lose it's exclusivity by the time the second title was released.
Let's be honest, Titanfall 2 probably is coming, and Respawn Entertainment are going to do all they can to keep it from dying out before the franchise has even had a chance to flourish. One way for Respawn to accomplish this is to reach out for a multi-platform release, including the PlayStation 4.
So far, nobody at Respawn has confirmed in words that Titanfall 2 will be on PS4, but a new comment by EA CFO Blake Jorgensen kind of suggests that it won't just be the Xbox that will be getting the Respawn treatment in the new future.
Jorgensen stated - "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

For some odd reason, both EA and Titanfall developer Respawn Entertainment seem to be reluctant to spill the beans on the upcoming beta for the new next gen FPS title.
Whilst it's still not officially been announced that there will actually be a Beta or not, the general consensus is that the game will have a final test run before the launch of the title, most likely to assess server performance and make any changes if necessary.
With these kinds of Beta tests, developers usually make sure it's nice and easy to get into the action so that they can stress test their servers and throw everything they have at them, and Titanfall's community manager has made it clear on twitter that it will definitely be easy enough to have a go at their servers before launch time.
When asked about the chances of getting into the beta, Abbie Heppe, the community manager for Titanfall replied with "It's not very limited! All you hardcore fans should not have a problem getting in,"

Upcoming first person shooter Titanfall may prove to be the next best FPS game, but it’s still going to be using the same scummy tactics that every published backed video game has been using for the last few years.
What I’m talking about is DLC - the extra content that you can pay for after you've already bought the game. Like many developers nowadays, Titanfall is already working on the DLC content despite the game not actually being out yet.
With EA at their back, Respawn Entertainment unfortunately don't really have much choice but to release extra purchasable content for Titanfall. At EA's Q3 earnings call, EA CEO Andrew Wilson has revealed that Titanfall DLC is planned, but that it would "evolve" depending on the actions and behaviors of the playerbase.
Wilson said, "Titanfall is a highly innovative game that's multiplayer drive and so we expect a lot of online engagement around that. We're planning extra content already for the product, but in the nature

Although Respawn Entertainment aren't yet sure on the status of a Beta for their upcoming FPS game TitanFall, an Alpha has been going on for the last few days, and a lot of players that have managed to get into the closed alpha are very impressed with the game so far.
It seems Respawn has loved the positive response to their game so much that they decided to extended the closed alpha to Monday, and whilst most players kept their lips sealed whilst under the NDA that prohibits the recording of alpha gameplay footage, like pretty much every public closed alpha or beta out there, some bad eggs decided to break the rules and record footage anyway, and then upload it to the internet.
What this means for us is that we get to have a sneak peak of the game before it's full release. We get to see unscripted, real, live bug-filled alpha gameplay in all of it's glory,
