The War Games DLC For Titanfall 2 Lands Next Week

Titanfall 2’s sixth free DLC drop lands next week and brings with it two new maps, an execution, and – hallelujah – a third weapon slot. EA say that “close to 20 million people” have now played the franchise with the current game have an active user base of around 1 million players each month, which is pretty impressive.

They also tease the seventh DLC drop next month “will be huge and will include the long-awaited return of a favourite mode from the original Titanfall.” In the meantime, here’s what you are getting on June 27th.

• Map: War Games – Pilots on the Frontier frequently use simulator pods to train, using life-like recreations of historical battles as combat scenarios. War Games highlights the civilian shops, tall buildings for window-to-window fighting, and city streets for Titan combat from the Battle of Angel City, and the large, open tank garage facilities for hand-to-hand Pilot combat from the Battle of Airbase Sierra. The outskirts of the map feature a clean, VR style perfect for Titan duels, while Pilots are often found running along the bright, interconnected wallrunning routes.
• Live Fire Map: Traffic –A weathered test site where pilot positioning is pitted against mobility across two busy thoroughfares. Dense cover makes every corner a threat, with room for snipers to hide in the back fields.
• New Execution: Shadow Boxing [Holo Pilot] Get 20 pilot kills while a holopilot ability is active (Both normal holopilot and boost ability holopilot nova count.) Does not retroactively count.
• 3^rd Weapon Slot for Pilots – You will now be able to equip a primary, secondary, and anti-titan weapon.
• Titan Brawl will be added to the permanent list of game modes. Titan damage will be displayed instead of assists.
• New Featured Mode: Free Agents
