Titan Fall, the game that catapulted Respawn Entertainment to EA star studio status, will be removed from digital storefronts and subscription services on March 1, 2022. That for me? Crap. However – given the recent brushing of the game with something very bad hacking– it’s not particularly surprising either.
Titan Fall, at the time of its publication, was an incredibly ambitious experiment. It was a multiplayerFPS only, including its campaign mode which tried to fit the story into the game’s matchmaking. The multiplayer mode of the gamefocus only, in addition to iTs phenomenally fluid motion system and weighty mech combat Titan Fall a brilliant curiosity – one that would lay the foundation for all of Respawn’s future projects.
Titanfall 2 is possibly the best first person shooter released in the last decade—With his perfect pace and impeccably designed campaign and stellar multiplayer. Apex legends plays in the same universe, uses the same weapons and has a modified version of Titan Fall‘s movement system. The game ignited almost all of the movement shooters for a short time before they sadly returned to the shadows.
In recent years, Titan Fall was plagued by a myriad of problems, most of which worried widespread hacker attacks throughout the game’s multiplayer mode. Both Titan Fall and Titanfall 2 were hit by multiple DDOS attacks that crashed the games ‘servers, multiple hacks that crashed the players’ games, and even claimed that some security vulnerabilities could permanently compromise the health of your PC (which Respawn refuted). These security risks, in addition to Repsawn’s insistence they don’t work on it Titanfall 3 at the moment (but could one day) make the current status of Titan Fall anything but happy. Respawn said this is the franchise at the core of the studio identity, but that’s all we really need to do for the future of the series.
Titan Fall‘s bleak fate marks another high-Profile instance of a game that is being withdrawn from sale – featuring rock stars new attempt to remove classics GTA Games of different shop windows is the most notable example. Bounce, the Shonen Jump anime fighter also met this fate recently. As someone who cares about the preservation of games, decisions like these are deeply worrying, even if not unexpected.

Titan Fall set the tone for an entire generation of first-person shooters, and its impact on the genre is undeniably present to this day. Hell, Halo infinite‘s excellent grappling hook is pure Titan Fall. Losing access to this classic is a huge blow to anyone with even a passing interest in FPS history.
For those of you who haven’t picked up the game, it will remain on sale through March 1, 2022, and the game’s multiplayer servers will remain online even if the game is removed from stores and subscription services everywhere.
Goodbye Titan Fall, rest well my sweet ‘Mech Prince.
