Report: Titanfall sequel rights secured by EA
EA has reportedly secured the rights to publish a sequel to Titanfall, in a deal that is said to have been performance-based on the first game's sales.
Electronic Arts has reportedly secured the rights to publish a sequel to Titanfall. The option is said to have been performance-based, and while sales data isn't available yet for the recently launched game, it has apparently performed well and helped buoy sales of Xbox One.
GameSpot bases this on an anonymous source, and an EA representative declined to comment on the possibility of a sequel. The source didn't outline the exact terms of the agreement, though, so we don't know yet if it allows for the possibility of PlayStation or Nintendo platform releases.
Respawn once said a release on PlayStation wasn't out of the question, but Vince Zampella followed up on Twitter to clarify that first Titanfall wouldn't be heading to PS4. That statement was precise enough to leave the door open for sequels. EA CFO Blake Jorgensen echoed that it was exclusive, but then later expressed confidence that "future Titanfalls" may appear on other platforms.
Titanfall is available now on PC and Xbox One. The 360 version recently got bumped with a small delay, and is now scheduled to drop on April 8. Check out our review for more details.

I bet they're going to throw more money at the campaign mode now that it can sell to the largest amount of consumers.

More game modes! A moving king of the hill would be cool.
-
Steal Battlefield's Rush mode.
-
Yes, more modes would be great.

That's what they want you to think. EA realized that Titanfall isn't going to be the killer app for the Xbone so they're picking up the rights so they can make more profit by bringing it to more platforms. If it actually sold so well on the Xbone there'd be no reason to not keep it exclusive.

Put a Titan in a bigger Titan. So when you eject, you're already in a Titan.
