The practice of turning popular shooters into free-to-play titles for the Asian market isn’t exactly a new one, so it’s not totally surprising to see Titanfall make that transition.
Electronic Arts and Korean publisher Nexon made the announcement earlier today, confirming that the adaptation will be reworked on by both original developer Respawn and Nexon’s own development studio.
”We look forward to working with the talented teams at Respawn and EA and leveraging Nexon’s free-to-play expertise to deliver a new and engaging online game based on Titanfall to the Asian market,” said Nexon’s CEO Owen Mahoney. They’ll bring the shooter to Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and Southeast Asia.
Nexon publish a wide range of other F2P titles, such as FIFA Online, Dirty Bomb, and that strange zombies version of Counter-Strike that hit Steam a while back. Respawn, meanwhile, is busy working on Titanfall 2, but that’s some way off yet.
