This indie developer is making Titanfall 3 because EA won’t do it, and even in ‘pre-pre-pre alpha’ it’s one of the most fun shooters in years

Titanfall is a celebrated first-person shooter series that was halted by EA at its peak, largely due to its release timing between Battlefield 1 and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. A spiritual successor called ShatterRush has been developed by Tetra Studios, a two-person team, and is available as a pre-alpha build on Steam. The game features a speed-running tutorial, fluid movement mechanics, and allows players to pilot mechs with combat capabilities similar to Titanfall. ShatterRush introduces environmental destruction, enabling players to demolish surroundings and create new pathways.
