‘Titanfall 2’ DLC: Developer and publisher announce release date, features and more
Respawn Entertainment and Electronic Arts have finally announced the release date of the upcoming “Titanfall 2” DLC called “A Glitch in the Frontier.” Players can expect the DLC to arrive on different platforms on April 25, 2017.
Aside from the release date, both developer and publisher have launched a brand new trailer that gives the players a glimpse of the next expansion. The trailer shows that the upcoming DLC will contain two maps, a new faction, another game mode and more.
The next DLC was inspired by Captain Lastimosa’s home planet, Harmony. It will include a second arena called Deck, which will be added for the title’s Live Fire game mode.
Meanwhile, the new faction included in “A Glitch in the Frontier” DLC is the MRVN. It might have some connection with the in-game MARVIN automated assistants. Furthermore, the mode first introduced in the initial installment of the game called “Marked for Death” will be added to the DLC as well.
‘Titanfall 2’ DLC: ‘Marked for Death’
“Marked for Death” is a mode that gives players specific marked targets. Killing the said targets will grant them points. The next update has also increased the level cap to 100. It will also give the ability to choose between Prime and Regular executions for Titans, a brand new Pulse Blade execution and the ability to include Live Fire modes to private matches.
The developer and publisher announced the details after Respawn Entertainment released a roadmap showing plans for the game in 2017. Players will have access to a new title a week after the “A Glitch in the Frontier” DLC. There will be more executions, paid add-ons and cosmetic upgrades. According to Electronic Arts, the full patch notes for the next “Titanfall 2” DLC include the following:
