Titanfall will receive another DLC map pack, IMC Rising, later this autumn, and Respawn plans to add more new modes and "cool stuff" to the game as free Xbox Live updates. The developer won't support the game indefinitely, however - past a "certain point", it'll need to reallocate resources to unannounced projects.
"Alongside the paid DLC maps we have been doing free content updates, with the next one being on I think the 6th?" the developer's community manager Abbie Heppe told OXM at Gamescom. "So we do have some plans to release some more free content, we've got some cool new modes on the way. But at a certain point, we are going to have to wind down so that we can move on and do other things."
"Because we've done a lot of post launch [support], I mean - six months of updates plus, and that includes Titan Burn Cards, the Insignias for Titans, the Black Market as well as all the normal hotfixes and weapon tweaks and stuff like that, so yeah, at a certain point we've got to give some people a break and then think about where we go next."
Respawn and EA have already committed to the creation of "new Titanfall experiences" - it's not clear whether this refers to a new game, more DLC or a spin-off experience in the Titanfall universe, such as Playfight's short film series. The developer also appears to be working on a new third-person action game, with input from former God of War developer Stig Asmussen.
Titanfall will never be entirely abandoned, of course. "Obviously, if there's anything that totally breaks then yeah, we'll absolutely fix that," said Heppe. "But we're going to have to wind down and then move on. But we still have some cool stuff in the works before that happens."
