Vandaag ontvangt Titanfall 2 een flinke update, namelijk de Colony Reborn update. Dit is een gratis patch die beschikbaar is voor de PS4, Xbox One en PC. Deze update bevat een nieuwe map in de vorm van Colony, afkomstig uit het eerste Titanfall deel.

Verder maak je ook kennis met een nieuw wapen, namelijk de R-101. Al deze content is gratis, maar er zit ook betaalde content bij deze update. Zo kun je twee nieuwe Prime Titans kopen alsook nieuwe camo’s, banners en patches. Dit is dus vooral cosmetische content en zo blijft de balans in de game goed behouden.

Naast de nodige nieuwe content brengt de update ook een flinke waslijst met zich mee aan fixes en veranderingen. De volledige patch notes staan hieronder en vertellen je in ieder geval alles wat je moet weten over de update.

Om de release van de patch te vieren is er een gratis weekend voor Titanfall 2, dat vandaag begint en duurt tot 3 april. Voor bestaande spelers is er de optie om dubbele XP te pakken gedurende dit weekend. Voor een ieder wat wils dus.
