A Reddit user with a source "in the know" claims Respawn will deploy Titanfall 2 in October, and will add new abilities and items such as a grappling hook to the original game's foundation of cool maneuvers.

"I've been sitting on some Titanfall 2 information that was shared with me, and I've finally got the go ahead to post," wrote user ILoveGoogleGlass. "Titanfall 2 will release in October and the Mountain dew leak is indeed legitimate. They've added a ton of new pilot abilities including the addition of a grappling hook."

He goes on to claim that the hook will be used extensively, good for situations such as swinging up into your Titan, Batman style, and for giving yourself a boost while free-running, and yanking foes out of midair.

"The pre-order bonus will be a handgun called the Violator. Multiplayer maps are bigger which I can assume they upped the player count to go along with them."

This mysterious stranger, who so loves Google Glass, claims the following image will be used in the game's official box art.

He vanished as quickly as he appeared, claiming only that his source is knowledgeable about all things Titanfall. We do know the game will launch this year, and E3's just a few weeks away, so questions surrounding a release date should be answered definitively soon enough.
