Crafting a story for 'Titanfall 2'

"A lot of people are going to be playing this franchise for the first time, so we can't take anything for granted," Drew McCoy, a producer on Titanfall 2, told Engadget. "It's a difficult balancing process, because you don't want existing players to feel like the first game didn't matter, but you also don't want new players to feel like they've been left out of the loop. It's something we've always been aware of while making the game." The story centers on a lowly grunt called Jack Cooper, who inherits the robot Titan BT-7274 from a dying pilot. Stuck in enemy territory, the two unlikely allies are forced to team up and continue their mission, battling the villainous Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation (IMC) along the way.
