Developer Respawn Entertainment has today detailed the contents of its first salvo of DLC content for Titanfall 2. The first DLC drop, dubbed Angel City’s Most Wanted, will be available from November 30.

The content will include the new Angel City map, a returning favourite from the original Titanfall, plus a new weapon (the Wingman Elite Pistol), a new Pilot Execution (‘Inner Pieces’, allowing players to “phase into an unsuspecting victim”) and six new Titan Kits (which are detailed on the official Titanfall site)

Titanfall 2 owners who pre-ordered the game will get access to the Angel City map from November 30. All other players will need to wait until December 3.

The update will also introduce an in-game store where players will be able to pay for new cosmetic content, though Respawn reiterated that its DLC plans remain as described.

“

We will have no in-game currency exchange. No locked loot boxes, crafting shards or pay-to-win weaponry. No RNG.

“First let’s look at the big picture and make a crucial point about our DLC vision crystal clear: All maps, modes, weapons – anything that has effect on gameplay – will be free for all players that bought Titanfall 2,” the developer explained in its post. “We believe that in order to maintain a healthy community we shouldn’t be segmenting players behind paywalls for these things.”

“In addition to the free stuff, we will be opening a store in game with the launch of DLC #1 that will allow you to purchase new skins, camo and Prime Titans if you want for a modest price. We will have no in-game currency exchange. No locked loot boxes, crafting shards or pay-to-win weaponry. No RNG. If you see something you like, you buy it and that’s it. These in no way effect stats and are purely cosmetic. We will have two Prime Titans available at launch. They have new chassis and assassinations but function the exact same way as their original counterparts.”

Despite Titanfall 2’s critical success Respawn co-founder Vince Zampella has conceded the studio is doesn’t know for certain if there will be another instalment at this stage. According to Zampella it’s “it"s too early to tell” from a sales perspective, though he does feel it’d be safe to assume they will “explore more of [the Titanfall universe].”
