Titan "Nose Art" insignias will let players customize their fighting robots, developer Respawn Entertainment revealed on Tuesday.

Titanfall developer Respawn Entertainment committed to more frequent and transparent updates on its new official blog.

Game director Steve Fukuda wrote that Respawn's focus has always been on releasing the game, so supporting a title post-release is a change for the studio

"Now that we are transitioning from making the game to supporting it, one of the many things I want to improve is what I call our 'update tempo' - not just accelerating how often we update the game, but also improving our frequency and quality of communication about those updates with the community," Fukuda said.

Respawn Entertainment confirmed at PAX East that Titanfall will receive its first paid map-pack, titled Expedition, in May. It will boast three maps including 'Swampland', 'Runoff' and 'War Games'.

Free content updates will include Titan nose art - a reference to the custom of adorning military planes with suggestive artwork - and new Burn Cards, though Fukuda did not say when they will be added to the game.

Titanfall players can also expect a steady stream of back-end updates: maintaining the "core health" of the game through balance tweaks, adding convenience features like color-coded party members, and expanding infrastructure with updates like the private matches beta.

The next update will include convenience features like creating custom loadouts for specific game modes, and renaming those loadouts. Respawn will also let players sort in-game challenges by which are closest to completion, and will display the previous match's scoreboard in the Last Game Summary.
