Apex Legends' Success Has Delayed Titanfall 3's Plans

---

Apex Legends exploded in popularity following release in February 2019. Without a doubt, Apex Legends is a very successful game for both rebirth entertainment and EA. Co-launched Apex Legends earlier this year, but due to its exciting and innovative approach to the battle royale genre, Apex Legends has become a huge hit. 

Apex picked up 10 million players in the first three days, breaking the record for rival Fortnite. Speaking to GameInformer, Respawn CEO, Vince Zampella revealed the success of Apex took everyone at the studio by surprise, suggesting they weren't prepared to cope with the millions of gamers logging on each day. Despite popularity decreasing in recent months, Apex remains one of the world's most played games and Vince Zampella, admitted that the developers are struggling to meet the demands of so many players.

This success, however, has come at a price. Zampella also stated that due to the success of Apex Legends, the development of other games, such as Titanfall 3, had to be shelved to focus on their new star. While he seems to suggest that more games in the Titanfall series were still in Respawn's plans – when pressed for more solid info on Titanfall 3, Zampella simply replied, "next".

As for what exactly Respawn will be up to this year, season 2 of Apex Legends is set to debut soon, and will bring at least one new legend - laying Wattson. With Apex Star Wars: Jedi: Fallen Order due out in November, it's a busy time for Respawn even if Titanfall 3 isn't on the studio's list.
