At udgive Titanfall 2 så tæt på både udviklerens eget Battlefield 1 samt Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare har ikke været EA's stærkeste trumfkort, men det afholder ikke udvikleren fra at fortsætte med serien.

Det har ellers allerede været en smule bekymrende fra spillets fans, og EA's chefer Blake Jorgensen og Andrew Wilson har svaret i et interview:

"The expectation is that Respawn will continue to support and grow the Titanfall community through Titanfall 2, and over time we'll work out what the right cadence for next version of Titanfall is and/or any other titles they're working on.", svarede Jorgensen, mens Wilson tilføjer:

<i>"We are working with Respawn to build a franchise,", da der blev spurgt ind til Titanfall 2's åbne plan for gratis indhold gennem spillets levetid, og tilføjer:

"Titanfall is something that we plan to be working with them on for many, many years to come, and there's huge opportunity inside of that franchise to continue to expand it. Part of the strategy of building a franchise is you have a long view."

Da de to chefer får det store spørgsmål, om det var klogt at udgive Battlefield 1 og Titanfall 2 så tæt på hinanden, var Wilson hurtig til at forsvare EA's beslutning, og argumenterede med at spillene har to vidt forskellige målgrupper:

"Battlefield 1 was for fans of "big strategic play", Titanfall 2 was for "fast, fluid kinect gameplay" lovers, and there would be those who simply bought both"

"We believe that Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2, while they have some overlap, fulfill very different motivations in what a player is looking for."

EA snakkede ikke om salgstal, men derimod at de er tilfredse med modtagelsen af begge spil, og Jorgensen afslutter interviewet med konklusionen:

"We're delighted with the way players are reacting to Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2. Both are reviewing very well, and we expect them to sell strongly for a long time. However, we're only a week into Battlefield and just a handful of days into Titanfall, so it's still too early to update sales forecasts for either."
