Gameplay
Players are situated on both ends of the screen, with a playfield in the middle. A Titan in the center faces the player's opponent.

Unlike other prominent collectible card games in the genre, which are played in turns, Titanfall: Frontline is played in real-time. The player collects and places Pilot, Titan, and burn cards to damage and defeat their opponent. Pilot and Titan cards can combine to perform extra damage.[1]

The game is free-to-play, and players can choose to purchase in-game content.[1]

Development

In October 2015, Respawn Entertainment, creators of the Titanfall franchise, began a long-term partnership with Nexon, a company known for its free-to-play online games. The partnership was set to include Respawn sister studio and mobile game developer Particle City, which was co-founded by Respawn's Vince Zampella. Respawn owns a significant portion of Particle City, and Nexon invested in both Los Angeles-based companies as part of the deal. Several new franchise games are planned in the partnership, but none were expected to replicate the original's first-person shooter on a mobile device.[2] Particle City led development on the title, and Nexon served as its publisher.[3] It soft launched on Android in mid-September 2016[4] and on iOS in the Philippines later that month.[5] Titanfall: Frontline was planned for a full release in 2016 on Android and iOS devices[1] but was cancelled on January 13, 2017.[6]
