It seems that Respawn Entertainment has sprung a leak after their flagship game, Titanfall, goes gold. With just over a week until the highly anticipated game is released for Xbox One and PC, with the 360 version coming soon after, Screenshots, Game Modes and other information seems to have crept from the nether of the development that is getting a lot of people pretty excited.
Before we get onto the more weird leaks, let’s discuss the ones that make a bit more sense. As a lot of Respawn came from Infinity Ward, it should be of no surprise that they have implemented their own version of the Prestige system into Titanfall, dubbed Generations. This is an option that players will receive that will allow them to reset everything to level 1 after they hit the level cap. They will get to keep the burn cards, which a lot of people enjoyed from the beta, and will receive a bonus of an accelerated influx of XP, 110% for a “2nd Generation Pilot”, meaning that they can ascend back to the top a little faster than previous. Others will be able to see if the player is a new generation via a unique chip. All in all, it sounds pretty standard, but it’s nice that it’s there for those who like to start again. This information was gleaned from an image of the screen that appears in-game before you submit yourself to the reset. This has also been rumored previously.
Other things that have appeared via screenshots are the images, most likely from loading screens, of each of the maps Titanfall will release with. They feature maps named Lagoon, Fracture, Colony and more, with a Zip-lining pilot visible in one of the images. Some of these seem to have appeared from a user on Reddit, and previously it was rumored that zip-lines would feature in the game. It’s nice to see the variety of the maps as well, with a lot of the aesthetics for them being drastically different from one another, much like the difference between the two maps playable in the beta.
There has also been a leak of the achievements list over at Xbox Achievements, sharing the 35 Achievements totaling to 1000 Gamerscore. Though follow the link at your own risk if you don’t wish to know what these are. A lot of these are standard fare for those who have a knowledge of Multiplayer Achievements, such as amount of kills, specific kills and the like, so no huge surprises here.
The hugely bizarre image that has been leaked however, involves a very alien creature that has apparently shown up in a Titanfall Artbook before, but has never seemingly been mentioned by the developers, or even given context. It shows a very large creature with very long legs, that looks like something out of a Salvador Dali painting. It does also seem to feature some alien bird-like creatures floating around the behemoth too. It’s a bizarre addition, that may point to some game modes and maps being a little more interesting that just Pilot on Titan on Titan on Pilot action that the game has been made up of, for our eyes at least.
All in all, there’s a lot of information gleamed from just a few screenshots, and it seems to be getting people curious, if not completely excited for the release at the end of next week. So there you have it, a little bit of information to satiate you until you disappear from the world.
