We know Titanfall 2 is coming, although there hasn’t been much information regarding the upcoming sequel outside of its existence and that it’ll be available across multiple platforms. Over the weekend, we learned some new details surrounding the game, which will have an actual single-player campaign.

Forbes spoke with Titanfall 2 lead writer Jesse Stern, which he revealed the title will take place in a world that’s filled with scientific wonders, but will still be “grounded, dirty, human, and real.”

Stern admits Titanfall’s presentation was a bit lacking. “One of the shortcomings of the first game was we just did not have the mechanism to tell everyone 'here's who you are, here's where you are, and who's around you,'" Stern shared. "We knew all the answers, we just could not deliver it."

Stern continues by offering just a taste of what kind of story we can expect to be told in Titanfall 2. He wants to deliver a vision of a grand global colonial warfare that reflects the story of the American Revolution and the American Civil War, but in space. “We imagined the next generation of immigrants moving out to the new frontier of an inhabitable planet,” he says. “Rather than taking a traditional sci-fi approach to that we wanted to look at how that would happen practically, what the ships would look like and with machines that were designed for excavation and construction , demolition and working the land, and what happens when they are turned into instruments of war.”
