In news that won't shock anyone, EA has confirmed that a Titanfall 2 is in development and that it will more than likely not be an Xbox console exclusive like the debut title, which did launch on PC as well.
News of the sequel broke out at the Stifel Technology, Internet & Media Conference earlier this week on Monday, where a whole variety of tech heads were in attendance. One keynote speaker, EA CFO Blake Jorgensen, spoke at great lengths about EA's future and of gaming's future.
Besides talk that tablets and mobile devices could soon be outperforming consoles much to the hatred of console fanboys, Jorgensen noted that BioWare have a few new IPs up their sleeve (though not Shadow Realms, obviously).
Gamespot noted that Jorgense also spoke at great lengths about Respawn Entertainment's Titanfall, where he pretty much confirmed a sequel to the 2014 release.
“Last year it was on the Xbox only; in the future, we haven’t yet announced, but we’ll probably have another Titanfall game. It will probably be a bigger footprint than just a single platform. I think that’s a huge positive for us.”
Read into that what you will, but who knows if we'll be seeing it at this year's E3 conference. One thing is for sure, it definitely makes sense to go non-Xbox console exclusive.

I'll give it a resounding 'meh'.
The first was s***-tier. The skill ceiling was so low that I was scraping my head on it the whole time -_-
