"Battlefield 1" and "Titanfall 2" are confirmed to launch in the same year but with no exact dates. However, the company recently confirmed that "Battlefield 1" and "Titanfall 2" will be released just three weeks apart of each other.
Three Weeks Apart
Electronic Arts (EA) Chief Financial Officer Blake Jorgensen revealed at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch 2016 Global Technology Conference that the release date for "Battlefield 1" and "Titanfall 2" are just weeks apart from each other, Gamespot said.
"Battlefield 1" is set to come out on Oct. 21 so the release date of "Titanfall 2" may fall between Sept. 30 and Nov. 11. However, Jorgensen has failed to mention if the release date is before or after the debut of "Battlefield 1."
More so, Jorgensen said he's not concerned over the release of two FPS (First Person Shooter) games just within a few weeks of each other. Jorgensen believes that either sale of "Battle 1" or "Titanfall 2" will be affected.
DualShockers noted that EA is confident enough since it has a wide range of FPS market, catering to varying types of shooter players.
EA wasn't sure if Battlefield 1 would work because it's not sure kids have heard of WW1 https://t.co/Ob7JBfx4w9 pic.twitter.com/CjdBEFHGw5

Head On Competition With 'Call of Duty'
However, Jorgensen is more concerned with "Battlefield 1" and "Titanfall 2" going head to head against Activision's "Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare." Jorgensen mentioned that EA is not at all comfortable with the scenario.
"Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare" is set to be released on Nov. 4. Since Jorgensen mentioned that "Titanfall 2" will be directly competing with "Call of Duty," it is highly possible that the release date is around November 22 as opposed to September.
Meanwhile, Digital Spy reported that "Titanfall 2" may feature a grappling hook that allows players to explore the terrain. "Battlefield" on the other hand, will include the Italian Alps, Arabian deserts and France in its locations.
