Crytivo’s Titanfall Inspired Game “Autonomica Fills Hole Left By EA’s Cancellation
Electronic Arts (EA) canceled a new Titanfall game on April 29, 2025. Fans of the mech-based shooter were pretty disappointed. The news hit hard! Especially for those who loved the idea of a fast-paced action game with giant robots. But there’s hope on the horizon. Crytivo, an indie developer, has stepped in with Autonomica, a game that feels like a love letter to Titanfall fans. With mechs and an extraction mode, it’s shaping up to fill the void EA left behind. Check out more gaming insights at Total Apex Gaming.
EA’s Titanfall Cancellation
EA’s cancellation of a Titanfall project, known as R7, was a tough blow. According to Bloomberg, R7 was an extraction shooter in early development at Respawn Entertainment. It was set to bring back the Titanfall universe with mechs and competitive multiplayer. But layoffs affecting hundreds of employees led to its end. This wasn’t the first time either—Titanfall Legends got axed in 2023. Fans were counting on R7, and its cancellation left a noticeable gap.
Crytivo Steps Up with Autonomica
Crytivo didn’t waste time responding. They tweeted, “No new Titanfall? Fine. We built our own,” as noted by GamesRadar. Autonomica is an open-world survival game with a twist—it’s got mechs and a PvEvP extraction mode that Titanfall fans will recognize. Set in a solarpunk world, it mixes nature and tech in a way that’s different but still exciting. The game’s trailer shows players jumping into mechs, ready for action, much like Titanfall’s pilot mech vibe.

So why should Titanfall players care? Autonomica brings some familiar elements to the table while kind of adding its own flavor.
Mechs with Purpose
Mechs in Autonomica aren’t just for fighting. I mean, they’re great in combat, but you can also use them to farm or gather resources, like chopping trees or digging for ore, per Kickstarter Update. It’s a practical twist that echoes Titanfall’s pilot-mech teamwork, just with a survival spin. The mechs’ solarpunk design—think green tech and sleek lines—sets them apart visually too.
Extraction Mode Action
R7 was supposed to be an extraction shooter, and Autonomica by Crytivo picks up that torch. Its PvEvP mode has players fighting AI and each other to grab resources and get out, according to GamesPress. It’s got that tense, competitive edge Titanfall fans crave, with mechs adding to the chaos.
Community Backing
The game’s Kickstarter launched in April 2025 and hit its $170,000 goal fast, raising over $500,000 in days, per GamesRadar. It’s now closing in on $828,000, showing how much people want this, as BackerTracker put it. All it’s ambitious, though some wonder if it can juggle all its features.
