‘Titanfall’ Card Game Coming To Mobile, Nexon Deal Involves Multiple Titles

A “Titanfall” mobile video game app is coming and it came about after Respawn Entertainment partnered with Nexon and Particle City. The title is basically a card game, much like “Hearthstone” or the “The Witcher 3’s Gwent” game, making it just the latest to join the growing number of AAA titles to spawn an addition in the card-based game market.

Respawn is set to release the second installment to the “Titanfall” franchise sometime in the future. For now, the focus is on the mobile game called “Titanfall Frontline.” As a card game, the players take one of two sides and will be using tactics and the right cards to win against each other, Android Headlines reports.

“Frontline” is just the first of numerous mobile games that Respawn partnered with Nexon to make. The developers had actually announced their plans to create mobile games in the franchise since October of last year, and that game would be released in 2016. Not many were expecting the title to be a card game, but at least Respawn is set to come through on its promises.

There are still some details that were not included in the announcement and not everything about the game is known right now. However, a few things are relatively clear based on the information available so far. Players will be set in real-time PvP matches and will need to use their respective cards to gain an advantage against the other.

However, Forbes is of the opinion that a card game is an odd choice for something like “Titanfall.” Something like an “XCOM-style” game would make more sense, with players controlling characters on a huge, tabletop landscape. They would take turns moving their characters for a limited distance and then be given limited chances to fight. The touchscreens of most modern mobile devices have advanced to the point where something like this would certainly be possible.
