Details Emerge About Titanfall's Battle Royale Mode
There's been a lot of talk online that Respawn Entertainment and Electronic Arts are going to reveal a new battle royale version of Titanfall this week. Originally the thought was that they were working on Titanfall 3, but the reality has come out that the project is a little simpler than just a sequel, and that led to people fishing for information. One of those being Rod Breslau, who has been leaking information out as he gets it, claiming that he has the inside track on what the game will be. By the sounds of the tweets below, you're getting a mix of Fortnite and Overwatch.
Apex Legends will feature classes/heroes with unique abilities, maximum of 60 players per server, maximum of 3 players per team (trios) to compliment each other. No titans. Just as Titanfall and Titanfall 2, Apex Legends will run on a modified version of Valve's Source engine.

Micro-transactions and lootboxes for cosmetic items and in-game content are said to be in Apex Legends with a very similar approach to that in Overwatch.

The idea right now is that a big reveal is coming on February 4th, and there's even speculation on Reddit that we're going to see a Super Bowl commercial, even if its just 10 seconds. Regardless of what's being said, everything is just rumor and speculation at this point until we see a confirmed announcement by either company. So take all Titanfall news until Monday with a grain of salt.
