20 Game Anniversaries Coming In 2026 That'll Age You Mercilessly

20. Titanfall 2 Turns 10

Respawn Entertainment/EA’s first-person shooter Titanfall 2 was quick off the mark, following just two short years after the first game’s release, and this time going out on both the big eighth gen consoles (not just Xbox One). And what a difference a year or two makes.

2 takes us into action as Frontier Militia-man Jack Cooper and his dead mentor’s Titan BT-7274, with a new, linear single-player campaign that features a quest to prevent the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation from using a superweapon to eliminate not just the Militia’s base but the entire planet it resides on. A big step up from its predecessor in story (which was told entirely through multiplayer matches), graphics and capabilities, it offers mad-cap action, impeccable gun play and movement mechanics (yep: parkour, parkour!), and is one of the hottest current games out there…

Except it’s not.

Titanfall 2 arrived an entire decade ago. That’s the same time gap between the release of Revenge of the Sith and The Force Awakens. And during that period? Well, Titanfall hasn’t really gotten any better than this, because the studio moved onto parallel battle royale game Apex Legends, which while fun just doesn’t compare. So don’t worry about cracking out #2 again – it still is the best thing going.
