EA has announced that the new Microsoft exclusive mecha game Titanfall will release on March 11, 2014 joining fellow March releases Dark Souls II, and Tales of Symphonia. Below is a press release:
Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA) announced today that Titanfall™, the
debut game from acclaimed independent videogame developer Respawn
Entertainment, will be landing on store shelves beginning March 11, 2014
exclusively for Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system
from Microsoft, Xbox 360 games and entertainment system and PC. Already
the winner of more than 80 coveted awards from critics around the world,
Titanfall
is winning over fans with its thrilling, dynamic first-person action
gameplay featuring elite assault pilots and agile, heavily-armored,
24-foot titans. Crafted by one of the co-creators of Call of Duty
and other key designers behind the Call of Duty franchise, Titanfall
delivers a brand-new online experience that combines fluid, fast-paced
multiplayer action with heroic, set-piece moments found in traditional
campaign modes.
“Since we revealed the game in June we’ve been absolutely blown away by
the reaction to Titanfall,” said Vince Zampella, a Co-Creator of Call
of Duty and Co-Founder of Respawn Entertainment. “The feedback we’re
getting from fans around the world is fueling our team as we head
towards March and motivating us to deliver an experience that lives up
to the hype.”
In addition to the standard edition of the game, the Titanfall:
Collector’s Edition (SRP $249.99) will include an exclusive
collectible 18″ hand-crafted Atlas titan statue with diorama and
battery-powered LED lighting, a full-size art book featuring more than
190 pages of rare concept art, and an exclusive full-size schematic
poster of the Atlas titan. The Titanfall: Collector’s Edition is
available for pre-order now at select retailers.
Set in the near future on a distant frontier torn apart by war, Titanfall
drops players in the middle of a conflict between the Interstellar
Manufacturing Corporation (IMC) and the Militia. The action is rapid and
varied — featuring parkour-style wall running, massive double jumps and
the ability to hijack titans. The freedom to shift back and forth
between pilot and titan allows players to change tactics on the fly,
attacking or escaping depending on the situation and extending the
action vertically to new heights.
Titanfall and the Titanfall: Collector’s Edition will be
available for Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC on March 11, 2014 in North
America, and beginning March 13, 2014 in Europe. For more information on
