Emphasizing “cinematic” over “game trailer,” regardless, the prerendered trailer shown above takes us through the awe and majesty that being a pilot in the Titanfall universe provides. Eschewing the split campaign from the first game, in Titanfall 2, you take the role of a Militia Rifleman, fighting to preserve his homeworld from the abuse and hostile takeover by the IMC goons. Alongside the choreographed action are some shots of life on the worlds outside of battle, where Titans serve a more utilitarian role. Certainly a nice touch, even if we may not see such a scene in-game.

Titanfall 2 drops on October 28th.
