Titanfall will not have microtransactions, says Respawn

4.5
Microtransactions have run amok at gamescom, but here’s some good news, as Titanfall developers Respawn have stated quite categorically that that business model just isn’t for them.

Respawn community manager Abbie Heppe spoke to VideoGamer and had a simple answer to the microtransaction question: “That’s not us.”

At the moment the team is focusing on getting the game out before considering where they might take it in the future. Although it seems likely, there aren’t any plans in place just yet to turn Titanfall into a franchise.

Heppe also didn’t rule out the possibility of additional content later in the game’s lifespan, but maintained that these will not be delivered through microtransactions.

This is good news. During gamescom it’s been announced that Battlefield 4, Ryse: Son of Rome, The Elder Scrolls Online, and many other games will include microtransactions.

Titanfall launches on Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC next Spring.

Nov This might be the Call of Duty killer. Maybe not the first game, but gradually I think it will outdo Call of Duty down the road. Yes, Ghosts looks awesome and innovative, but there still is only so much that Call of Duty hasn't done. Can't wait for Titanfall.


You do know that what is Respawn now, was the bulk of IW.

Kurumu What is a microtransaction? Is it like PlanetSide2 where you can buy weapons/armor/upgrades?


Yes, basically. Where if you want an armor you're able to buy it.

But thank god that's not in this game

It's just mini dlc upgrades if you will, like BO2 has custom camos for 160 MSP those are microtransactions.
