Titanfall 2 gets a free trial for a week

Respawn has a noble goal: putting more people inside massive, brawling mechs. In pursuit of this objective, Titanfall 2 now has a free trial, running until the end of the week.

From now and until June 18, you’ll be able to duke it out as a pilot or a Titan to your heart’s content. Included in the free trial are two campaign missions, Pilot Gauntlet and The Beacon, as well as full access to the multiplayer.

“This is a game that takes some of the most familiar vocabulary in this hobby—run, jump, shoot, spaceship, robot, alien dog—and finds ways to surprise you with each,” Chris Thursten wrote in his Titanfall 2 review. “When it comes down to it, that's what Titanfall 2 deserves to be remembered for.”

Strategy games have been a 30-year-long obsession, from tiny RTSs to sprawling political sims, and he never turns down the chance to rave about Total War or Crusader Kings. He's also been known to set up shop in the latest MMO and likes to wind down with an endlessly deep, systemic RPG. These days, when he's not editing, he can usually be found writing features that are 1,000 words too long or talking about his dog.
