A new trailer was released recently for "Titanfall 2" and it focuses on the single-player campaign's story. It introduced the main character of the latest installment, Jack, and the Titan that would be accompanying him, BT. The clip also highlighted what the duo will be going through.

Based on a report from Gamespot, the promotional clip was a mix of cinematic scenes and gameplay moments. It was seen in the trailer that Jack, a militia rifleman, crash-landed on a planet where he found a pilot who was controlling BT. Apparently, the pilot died but not before transferring authorization, thus giving Jack control over BT and linking the two. This is how the journey of the unlikely team began in "Titanfall 2."

It was also established in the teaser that the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation (IMC) is the main antagonist of the story and that they have built a weapon capable of mass destruction and destroying entire worlds. The trailer was also filled with drama as it showed the bond between BT and Jack developing further. It was also seen that BT is willing to sacrifice everything for its pilot.

According to IGN, one of the most exciting features that will be arriving for the latest sequel is its multiplayer mode. The Bounty Hunt mode was shown during the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) back in June and the multiplayer option encourages players to be more cooperative with each other. It allows gamers to heal the health of their allies or to make them stronger by handing out extra batteries.

Fans can also purchase the Collector's Edition for the upcoming game. It includes a copy of the title's Deluxe Edition, an 8GB dog tag USB flash drive, a journal with an aluminum cover and a a 1:1 scale Titanfall 2 Vanguard pilot helmet replica. Overall, this edition will cost $250 USD.

"Titanfall 2" is slated to be released on Oct. 28 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
