A new Titanfall game may never come to fruition, but that doesn’t mean the franchise’s DNA can’t live in another exoskeleton. It appears an indie team is doing what EA won’t and reviving the series’ human-mech combat in a vibrant FPS, but don’t start clearing storage space just yet–it won’t launch until sometime in 2027.
Developer Tetra Studios is working on “a multiplayer parkour FPS” called ShatterRush. Launching on Steam Early Access in “Q3 2027,” with an open pre-alpha demo available to download right now, ShatterRush is giving The Finals meets Titanfall with a dash of Battlefield in all the right ways. We’re talking poppy colors, destructible environments, and parkour galore–all while you summon a giant mech from the sky to battle other giant mechs.
This is pretty awesome to see. The Titanfall series, which originally started on Xbox in March 2014, has been on ice for over a decade now. Developer Respawn Entertainment has sworn that no new Titanfall was in development for forever, apparently going as far as shelving an unannounced FPS in March 2025 and cancelling an extraction shooter set within the universe in April 2025. Vince Zampella, the late founder of Respawn Entertainment who died in a December 2025 car crash, said in April 2023 that if Titanfall 3 were to ever be a thing, it would have to be the “right thing” to make sense.
