Watch Titanfall 2's first teaser now: mech swords & worldwide reveal confirmed

EA has shown off its first official teaser for Titanfall 2, and while it doesn't give you too much to go on, it's very exciting for fans of mech-sized cutlery. The company plans to give Respawn Entertainment's sophomore effort a proper reveal on June 12, presumably at its E3 parallel EA Play event.

The trailer shows a drop pod smoking and sparking in an alien jungle, where it's approached approached by a sword-wielding Titan. Respawn has confirmed that the sequel will feature a single-player campaign, so we could be looking at a scene pulled from or inspired by the story here. I'll bet your pilot protagonist is chilling in that pod, eager to trade up for a Titan.

The teaser also re-confirms that Titanfall 2 is headed to PC, PS4, and Xbox One. The original game never released on Sony's platform.
