Titanfall 2 has no season pass; Respawn asks 'Remember when buying a game got you everything?'
As previously announced, all maps and modes will be released for free.
Not only do Respawn Entertainment and EA plan to give away all extra content for Titanfall 2 free of charge, the developer poked fun at price-gouging practices today on Twitter (via GameSpot).
"Remember when buying a game got you everything?" it wrote. (Answer: Vaguely. Where is this land of milk and honey, and how do I get back there?)
Respawn will give away maps and modes at no extra cost in order to keep all players on the same page no matter when they buy the game. "This means no splitting up the community and it all starts with the legendary Angel City map, remastered from the original Titanfall," the developer explained in a blog post. This means once you’ve purchased Titanfall 2, your investment includes a full single player campaign, the full multiplayer maps and modes, and long-term support with no hidden costs."
The only perk for pre-ordering at least three days prior to Titanfall 2's launch tomorrow is being able to play early. Everything else will be available to everyone.
Titanfall 2 drops tomorrow, Friday the 28th, for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

Awesome, I may buy the game just to support this decision.
Though, we can't fool ourselves, the only reason they did this is because the original Titanfall's userbase was small even before it got split by DLC. It really cooled interest in the game, and they learned their lesson. -

Wait...this is EA, what's going on? Is Satan having a snowball fight with DoomGuy in Hell with rainbows and kittens in the background?

Respawn is not owned by EA and probably has final say for this sort of thing.
But it's nice that they can pretend the first game didn't have an awful dlc plan that went against it being a new property that desperately needed to earn and build a community. Too bad they didn't come out swinging with this "not splitting the community" mindset.-
Interesting, I thought EA had the final say given that they're the publisher.

The first Titanfall was an "EA Partners" game, more about distribution for indies and stuff than having an active hand in publishing. Left 4 Dead and Portal 2 were "published" by EA on consoles through this same program.
I think that stuff is now defunct, but respawn obviously still has a relationship with them for marketing and distribution. If Titanfall 2 was EA's baby, it probably wouldn't have come out a week after Battlefield, and it would definitely have pay for DLC.

Everything including content that was close to completion but cut due to time?

Eh, expansion packs have been around for ages, I don't mind some of the bigger DLC we see on these games, especially if it means they get constant support for a couple years. It keeps the devs working as well which means less unemployment between projects.
However, I do like the attitude about giving their users a solid value. -
