Studio Behind Live Action Call Of Duty Shorts Taking On Titanfall Next
Respawn and Playflight, best known for the Call of Duty: Operation Kingfish live action short film, are teaming up for a different look at Titanfall. The first teaser for Titanfall: Free the Frontier will be live at 12 a.m. Eastern tomorrow, Tuesday, March 11.
Playflight also provided post-production services on Video Game High School. This follows hints on the Major Nelson podcast that the launch event taking place at SXSW this week will include news about the future of the franchise.
And, no, Respawn hasn’t sold the rights to the franchise to Microsoft. Company co-founder Vince Zampella put any discussion of that to bed quickly via Twitter.

Our Take
Gameplay is only one way to engage players in a new IP. A rich universe with interesting characters and places helps draw and hold people (as Bungie proved with the Halo franchise). Don’t be surprised if books and comics come along to help flesh out the war between the IMC and the Militia.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
