Here's a spicy story to start your day. Fans of the popular FPS series, Titanfall, have taken desperation to a whole new altitude. The recent sprinkling of teasers have left the fandom fishing around in what they presume to be a sea of clues. They've even gone as far as diving into the world of rock music, rummaging through the collective works of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, in search of any sign (or strum) that might hint towards the so desperately desired Titanfall 3.
Over the past lunar cycles, Titanfall 2 has been receiving a stream of updates as if gently kissed by Aphrodite herself, solving the pesky server issues and squashing some bugs. This all raised eyebrows as each update seemed to throw nods to the release dates of the original games, all conveniently wrapped up as little Easter eggs.
However, the plot thickens (like a good stew) when the in-game playlist featured the mode -The Otherside. Fans began to spin theories like an unsupervised vinyl record, highlighting that Otherside shared a name with a groove-inducing tune by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Coincidence? Many Titanfall aficionados thought not, and the rumor mill began churning at warp-speed.
The thread on Reddit began to resemble a feverish keyboard party. The overall sentiment of the hopeful though was perfectly captured by a user who quaintly put it "this is ether god-tier trolling or a confession at this point." So, was it all just a grand illusion or was there a crumb of truth behind the carefully placed breadcrumbs?
Bring out the magnifying glasses. The Otherside, indeed, has beaded the necklace of Titanfall's modes for some time. It made a comeback, much like glitter shoes from the 90s, in the recent playlist rotation. But the Chili Peppers' song, Otherside, holds the title of the fourth song on the Californication album, not the third. Could it be the fans got their wires crossed?
It’s wildly evident that Titanfall fans’ hunger for a third installment is as insatiable as a Christmas turkey. But as we know, placing too many eggs in the rumor basket, can lead to a disappointing omelet.
So just how serious should we take these Red Hot Chili Pepper-infused clues? And will Titanfall 3 be served up anytime soon or will it remain a beautiful mirage in FPS land? As our story stands, the verdict is still out, and more information would always be welcome.
So until Titanfall 3 graces the horizon, maybe just enjoy some foot-tapping Chili Peppers and the occasional game of Titanfall 2. After all, life is but a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood. Keep gaming, and remember, stay spicy!
