Titanfall developer Respawn has partnered up with publisher Nexon to make new mobile games based on the franchise.

Respawn won’t be doing these games on their own, rather they will be teaming up with mobile game company Nexon and Particle City who will in partnership help create the game(s).
It’s unclear what kind of games Titanfall’s mobile offerings will end up becoming, but it’s likely these upcoming mobile spin-offs won’t be first person shooters like their console counterparts. Pacey will run Particle City, with Zampella serving as creative advisor.
The company is recruiting, including for a senior designer whose responsibilities will include “Player vs Player (PVP) gameplay, social, guilds, scripting, multiplayer and economy”, as well as “the design and balancing of mobile game free-to-play economy and systems such as level progression, rewards, crafting, gacha fusion, item costs, weapons, skill/powers effects”. “Next year is going to be a very big year for Titanfall”. They won’t just put the same game on a tablet though, with Zampella explaining to Polygon, “We’re not of the view that you take a first-person shooter that’s great on a console and PC and just put it on mobile”.
Let us know what you think of Titanfall going mobile below and how you think they should do it. We like to start with the game.
In April 2015, Nexon published the hit mobile-strategy game DomiNations, which was developed by Big Huge Games, an independent studio co-founded by PC game industry veterans Brian Reynolds and Tim Train, famous for online strategy games Civilization II and Rise of Nations.

Zampella also confirmed that Titanfall will arrive on Android and iOS platforms in 2016. After being dismissed in the wake of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s release, Zampella and fellow Infinity Ward veteran Jason West formed Respawn Entertainment in 2010.
