While it's hard to imagine how Titanfall's hulking Titans would factor into Apex Legends' infantry-based gameplay, their inclusion lies within the realm of possibility. Although most Apex Legends players are likely unaware of it, the popular battle royale exists entirely within the Titanfall universe. Set after the events of  2, which saw the underdog Frontier Militia emerge victorious over the draconian IMC, Apex Legends focuses on the resulting Apex Games - a vicious bloodsport fought in the lawless sector of the Frontier, known as the Outlands. With this direct continuity in mind, it would make complete sense if Titans (or really anything from the Titanfall universe) somehow find their way into these unruly Apex Games.

New information published by Gaming INTEL is delivering an ounce of hope to players that want more Titanfall stuff to crop up in Apex Legends, with leaking footage from a supposed unreleased build of the game featuring voice lines that reference numerous gameplay elements that could possibly make their global debut sometime in the future. Check out the video below to hear a number of Pathfinder voice lines, which mention not only Titans, but also Spectres (robot infantry fodder), Stalkers (beefed-up Spectres), Reapers (unmanned miniature Titans), and a potentially all-new enemy class called the "infected."

While it can be difficult to refrain from immediately dissecting these voice lines and theorizing about them with wild abandon, it's important to that this information is currently only a rumor and could very well be cutting room floor chaff from dropped or reworked content - especially considering the fact that Apex Legends likely contains the partial skeleton of most others) "should not [be treated] as a source of truth."

Whether there's any truth to this alleged leak or not, it's clear that Apex Legends can whip its immense player base into a frenzy without doing anything beyond being an exceptional team-based shooter. Clearly, players are chomping at the bit for any sliver of news they can get their hands on, and it understandably raises their hopes and unrealistic expectations all the more when the name "Titanfall" is thrown into the mix. Having promised to release Apex Legends' first season and Battle sometime in March - with the industry standard March 20 looking more and more likely with each ing day - Respawn is so far doing an exemplary job of straddling the fine line between intrigue and outrage with its release schedule and community management, but maybe they ought to give some of these potentially bogus concepts some thoughtful reconsideration.
