Titanfall 2 Colony Reborn DLC Announced

Respawn Entertainment has announced the release date for Titanfall 2's Colony Reborn DLC pack, along with the confirmation of a new trial weekend for the shooter.

When the developer of Titanfall 2, Respawn Entertainment, announced that gameplay DLC for the title would be free, many fans were happy, and the studio has fulfilled its promise. Now, the next batch of free DLC for the shooter has been confirmed, in the form of the Colony Reborn DLC pack. Players will be able to access this additional content on March 30, 2017. If the name Colony sounds familiar to Titanfall 2 players who already own the original game, there's a reason for that.

The name Colony is from a multiplayer arena from the first game, and the map itself has been redesigned for use in Titanfall 2. Respawn Entertainment had first teased the return of the Colony map in January, but now the developer thinks it's the right time to launch this content.

"Taking place in a sleepy settler town, the dense center is filled with narrow streets, interiors, and rooftops surrounded by open Titan lanes," stated Respawn in a new Titanfall blog post. Those interested in having a look at the map, and seeing what Respawn has tweaked for play in Titanfall 2, can do so by watching the DLC's trailer below.

That's not the only thing that's going to arrive with the Colony Reborn DLC, however. Alongside the map, all Titanfall 2 players will be able to use a new weapon, the R-101, which "has been a centerpiece of human conflict since the first settlers arrived from the Core Systems." Apart from this, the Curb Check execution will also be introduced, which is equally violent and impressive. There will also be some paid cosmetic DLC as well, in the form of new Titan cosmetics and more.

The launch of the Colony Reborn DLC will also happen together with another Free Trial weekend. Starting on the 30 March and running through to 3 April, gamers will be able to get complete access to Titanfall 2's multiplayer, as well as being able to play the Training Gauntlet and single player mission The Beacon.
