Upcoming Titanfall Title Update Adds Two New Modes, Titan Customization

Presenting at E3 2014, Respawn Entertainment has detailed two new modes coming to their sci-fi first person shooter, Titanfall, in the game’s next title update. The two modes—Marked for Death, and Wingman LTS—were revealed at the event, where they were demoed on the show floor. 

Respawn has posted details of the two new modes coming to Titanfall, along with a host of changes on the game’s official blog.

The notes below aren’t the full patch notes, which are due for release when the title update is much closer to release later this month on the PC and Xbox One. The update is also coming to the Xbox 360 version of the game. 

Here’s what’s in store:

Marked for Death – MFD is a 6v6 mode where one player per team is “Marked for Death”. Teams need to protect their own marked player while hunting down the enemy Pilot. Once a target is killed, new Pilots are marked. This is a fast paced mode that challenges players to fully explore maps and coordinate as a team.

Wingman LTS – This is a 2v2 version of Last Titan Standing. It’s our first non 6v6 mode and relies on teamwork and strategy. Great for players who want to play an even more tactical version of LTS.

Titan Burn Cards – Burn cards are no longer just for Pilots. Titan cards include amped weapons and enhanced Titan abilities.

Titan Customization (Visual and voice over) – Players will be able to choose between 3 Titan VO packs. “Betty” is the original voice and this update adds Lisa and Jeeves. Players will also be able to select Titan decals. You’ll unlock these as you complete challenges in the game and apply them to the front of your Titan. Our friends over at Penny Arcade were kind enough to contribute a cool decal to the mix too.

Matchmaking Updates – Titanfall now shows when players are connecting into a lobby as well as shuffling teams to keep skill levels and matches closer.

Some of the smaller changes include burn card overflow protection, new menu art and the ability for auto-titans to use smoke and particle walls.
