Posted on February 28, 2014, Mike Sharkey Titans With Swords? Respawn Shares New Titanfall Details
The countdown to Titanfall’s March 11 drop from the sky is on, and as we get closer to launch, Respawn continues to eek out new details.
The latest tidbits come via the official Titanfall twitter, where Respawn responded to fan questions about a DLC Season Pass and split-screen play:
@killervassy Titanfall will not have a season pass.

@toxicgrunt Titanfall will not have a split-screen mode.

So no season pass (hooray!) or split screen (aw), but there’s also one more tweet worth noting, best summed up with two words: Stryder and sword. Here is the tweet:
@De_Juan_Davis Stryder swordplay is coming March 11th!

That’s the first we’ve heard of a Titan having the ability to use a melee weapon, let alone a flippin’ sword. Sounds like we could be getting a little Voltron in our Titanfall.
I pinged Respawn for confirmation and will update this post with any response.
