We knew all the answers, we just could not deliver it."
"Titanfall" was released in 2013 and has over 11 million players at present. The game title even won over 60 awards when it was revealed in Electronic Entertainment Expo in 2013. "Titanfall" is a multiplayer shooter video game that can be played from a first person perspective. It was developed by Respawn Entertainment and has received positive reviews worldwide. Thus, expectations from "Titanfall 2" are very high.

Furthermore, Electronic Arts has announced that several new games will be released along with "Titanfall 2" between March 2016 and April 2017, which includes "Mass Effect: Andromeda" and a new "Battlefield" game.
