Ive been fortunate to work on some great games and be a part of some amazing communities during my career but Ive never seen or experienced anything like the launch of Titanfall 2. The outpouring of support, positivity, and surge of new players in the Titanfall community has been staggering to take in. Reviews have been glowing, our Titanfall subreddit has nearly doubled since launch and weve seen tremendous chatter and engagement across all our feeds. Its a truly remarkable movement to be a part of. Were humbled to see such a response and it feels like every day were emailing each other new comments and threads that are touching to read. Thank you to everyone that has reached out to share your stories. It means the world to us.
Currently, our launch communication has been focused on addressing bug and balancing feedback, promoting Titanfall 2, and amplifying the incredible critical and fan reactions. Weve heard your concerns loud and clear about the longevity of Titanfall 2 and whats next for future content. Today we are starting that conversation. First lets look at the big picture and make a crucial point about our DLC vision crystal clear: All maps, modes, weapons anything that has effect on gameplay will be free for all players that bought Titanfall 2. We believe that in order to maintain a healthy community we shouldnt be segmenting players behind paywalls for these things.
In addition to the free stuff, we will be opening a store in game with the launch of DLC #1 that will allow you to purchase new skins, camo and Prime Titans if you want for a modest price. We will have no in-game currency exchange. No locked loot boxes, crafting shards or pay-to-win weaponry. No RNG. If you see something you like, you buy it and thats it. These in no way effect stats and are purely cosmetic. We will have two Prime Titans available at launch. They have new chassis and assassinations but function the exact same way as their original counterparts.
The first DLC drop will be on November 30, 2016 and its called Angel Citys Most Wanted. Well be going into more detail and showing it off closer to launch but heres a high level look at the free content youll be getting: Angel Citys Most Wanted [all content below will be FREE]: Angel City map: A fan favorite map from Titanfall 1 is reborn for Titanfall 2.
Fans that pre-ordered Titanfall 2 will get access to the Angel City map starting on November 30. All other players will get access to the Angel City map starting on December 3rd.

Angel Citys Most Wanted is just the beginning of our support for Titanfall 2. We will have more drops that will differ in size and scope but the additional maps, modes, and weapons available will continue to be free. Well be revealing just what these are next year but in the meantime heres what kind of events and updates you can expect from us for 2016:
GAME MODE TWISTS
Changing things up and trying out new ways to play is a big part of how we work here at Respawn. Were carrying that philosophy over to multiplayer with semi-regular events that will change up rule sets on certain games, giving them a twist to how you might normally play them. Changes like these force players (and ourselves) to look at the game differently and try some things you may never have tried before.
DOUBLE XP WEEKENDS
Beyond new content and rules that change the game, were also big fans of giving excuses for all your friends to pile into Titanfall 2 over a weekend to reap bonus XP, level up faster or unlock a weapon youve had your eye on and generally have some fun. Dont forget to coordinate with your Networks to optimize your happy hour merit madness!
TOP NETWORKS RECOGNITION
Networks represent our grand experiment to make Titanfall 2 a meaningful social experience for all players. Being a part of a Network is a great way to meet new people and get bonuses for playing, so every week youll find us calling out a few Networks we think are worth checking out. You can join as many Networks as you like, so make a point to join one that interests you! Its a great way to meet fellow Pilots and have fun together.
SOCIAL GIVEAWAYS
Make sure to follow @respawn because every Wednesday well get doing random giveaways that could be anything from the Titanfall 2 Art book, signed posters, and much more.
And this is just all the stuff were ready to talk about right now! Weve got more that were working through but isnt ready for prime time just yet. What I hope youll take away from this as that this is just the start. We are committed to supporting Titanfall 2 for the long haul and look forward to taking this journey with you.
