During an investor call this prompted a question about "cannibalisation" - odd thing to bring up at a time like that - and "mistiming". EA big cheese Andrew Wilson responded.
He believes the "giant" category the games belong to is big enough, with an audience diverse enough, that it will support the two games at once. The games both scratch different itches, he said.
"There is a very broad and diverse set of players who play games in that category who are looking for - to fulfil different game play motivations," he said, transcript via Seeking Alpha.
"Some people play very quick play, some people more strategic play, and some people want both in different context. The result [is] we feel like we actually have a really strong position to deliver the broadest set of gameplay mechanics as it relates to first-person shooter genre across the two titles, and feel very confident that we are well-positioned to do very well in that category [this] year."
What do you guys think? I don't think this is a good move for Titanfall 2 personally.
