'Titanfall 2': New single-player mode, multiplayer revealed at E3 2016

LOS ANGELES, June 13 (UPI) -- Titanfall 2 was formally revealed Sunday during publisher Electronic Arts E3 press conference which highlighted the title's single-player and multiplayer modes.

Unlike the first game in the series, Titanfall 2 will not not be exclusive to Xbox One and PC and will appear on the Playstation 4 along with a single-player campaign.

A trailer for the single-player showcased the world of Titanfall and a Vanguard class Titan who is attempting to protect its new pilot.

"Pilot and Titan unite as never before," the trailer's official synopsis reads. "Featuring a crafted single player campaign that explores the unique bond between man and machine, players will step on to The Frontier as a Militia rifleman with aspirations of becoming a Pilot. Stranded behind IMC enemy lines, and against overwhelming odds, you must team up with a veteran Vanguard-class Titan and uphold a mission you were never meant to carry out."

In a second trailer which highlighted the series signature, fast-paced competitive multiplayer modes, a host of new towering Titan's were showcased with an expanded set of abilities and weapons. Notably, the clip revealed a new grappling hook item that players can use to transverse maps and grab onto enemies faster during battles.

"In multiplayer, Titanfall 2 delivers best-in-class shooter gameplay backed by more depth and variety including new Titans – each with their own unique abilities, a deeper set of Pilot abilities, an expanded arsenal of weapons, more customization options, and a robust progression system," reads the multiplayer trailer's description.

Developed by Respawn Entertainment, Titanfall 2 will launch October 28 for Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC.
