Developer of Titanfall 2, Respawn Entertainment, has revealed the DLC release plans for February, March, and beyond, including the return of fan favorite multiplayer map Colony.
About two weeks ago, Titanfall 2 developer Respawn Entertainment has announced plans to add a new mode and two maps to its popular mech v. pilot shooter. The studio has detailed those plans today and further fleshed out its DLC roadmap, which now confirms that it will include another release in March. First of all, though, is the release of Live Fire, a new 6v6 elimination mode for Titanfall 2.
Similar to most elimination game modes in a regular match in Counter Strike GO or Elimination in Destiny, once a player is out, they remain out. Respawn compares the mode to a game of paintball for the way it forces players to think strategically with their “one life.”
Apart from Live Fire, Titanfall 2 will be getting two new maps that Respawn says are built to force confrontation. Controlled sight lines, choke points, and flank routes are key in these new maps, and hopefully they will support the new game mode’s approach.
Other than the release of Live Fire, Respawn has also teased what the future will bring for Titanfall 2, both near and a far. In March, players will be able to access the map Colony, a redesigned version of the classic multiplayer arena from the first game. Moreover, Respawn will be adding a couple of premium unlocks like Prime Titans and cosmetics that can be purchased with real money.
The Colony DLC will probably also include a balance patch for Titanfall 2, something that players have been waiting for a long time. Although the base game’s multiplayer was fairly balanced, there are certainly items, weapons and Titans that players gather to if they want to be successful.
Ideally, this March balance patch will either make few of those essential weapons less viable, or make the Titans and items that are less used stronger. Titanfall 2 was certainly considered as one of the favorite multiplayer shooters of the year, but there is always room to improve.
Titanfall 2 is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
