Titanfall 2 release date won't fall in 2015

If you optimistically hoped for a Titanfall 2 release this year, then here's bad news: according to Electronic Arts CFO Blake Jorgensen, the sequel won't release in the publisher's 2016 fiscal year. That means we won't see the game before April 2016.

It makes sense: EA's massive holiday shooter has already been announced in the form of Star Wars: Battlefront, and the publisher has traditionally shipped one shooter during the September / November high season. The original Titanfall released in March 2014.

It's no secret that Titanfall 2 is in development: Respawn CEO Vince Zampella confirmed as much in March, along with confirmation that the studio would rework the way it approaches both post-launch content and the game's (currently very slim) lore.

In the meantime, if it's double jumping and wall running you want, then Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 should sate your completely understandable urges come September. Everyone's doing it nowadays.
