Urge Valve to Acquire the Titanfall IP and Reinvigorate the Franchise


Urge Valve to Acquire the Titanfall IP and Reinvigorate the Franchise
The Issue
Millions of gamers still remember Titanfall 2 as one of the best first-person shooters ever made. Its fast, fluid movement, innovative mech combat, and masterfully crafted single-player campaign earned it critical praise and a passionate fanbase. Yet despite its success, the Titanfall series has been sidelined—neglected by EA and left without the support it deserves.
We believe Valve Corporation has the potential to become the best home for Titanfall. Not only does Valve have a proven history of building and supporting iconic shooters (Half-Life, Counter-Strike, Team Fortress), but Titanfall itself was built on a modified version of Valve’s own Source engine. The DNA of Titanfall is already connected to Valve’s technology and design philosophy—it makes sense to bring it home.
This week, EA laid off roughly 300 employees—including around 100 from Respawn Entertainment—and canceled another game set in the Titanfall universe. This marks yet another blow to a franchise that fans have been begging to see revived. The message is clear: EA is not prioritizing Titanfall. And that’s a missed opportunity.
Valve, with its engine expertise, creative freedom, and player-first approach, could give Titanfall a real future—not just with Titanfall 3, but by restoring a franchise built on innovative gameplay, mech combat, and movement systems that pushed the FPS genre forward. With Steam as the platform, and Source as the engine foundation, many of the pieces are already in place.
This petition is asking Valve to consider acquiring the Titanfall IP from EA—to give the franchise the second chance it deserves, with support, updates, and maybe even a Titanfall 3. That means giving its developers—some of whom were just laid off—a chance to continue what they started. And giving players a reason to believe bold, original shooters can still thrive.
If you believe in that vision, sign and share this petition.
Let’s show that Titanfall still matters—and that in the hands of a studio that values innovation and community, it could truly come alive again.
