"With the original Titanfall, we focused on nailing the gameplay and reinventing the way you move and fight in a first person shooter," said Vince Zampella, CEO of Respawn Entertainment and a Co-Creator of the Call of Duty franchise. "With Titanfall 2, we're building on that foundation by introducing a bespoke single player campaign backed by a deeper multiplayer experience that together will once again push the shooter genre forward."
