"Respawn's Latest Project: A New Titanfall Game in the Works"

Respawn is reportedly working on a new game set in the Titanfall universe, but it's not Titanfall 3 as previously hoped. The game, led by Titanfall game director Steve Fukuda, has progressed beyond the early prototyping phase and is considered a "real project," though still in the prototype stage. This news comes after years of anticipation for a potential Titanfall sequel, with previous reports of a canceled game blending elements of Apex Legends and Titanfall. Despite recent layoffs at EA and the cancellation of a Star Wars FPS, Respawn continues to collaborate on another Star Wars game. While an Xbox showcase is upcoming, it's unlikely that Respawn's new game will be revealed given its early development stage.
