VAN NUYS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) and independent videogame developer
Respawn Entertainment announced that Titanfall™ is
now available at retail stores across North America exclusively for Xbox
One®, the all-in-one entertainment system from Microsoft and on
Origin.com for PC. Since its unveiling last June, Titanfall has
seized the attention of gamers around the world with its exhilarating
first-person action gameplay centered on the dynamic between elite
assault pilots and agile, heavily-armored, 24-foot titans. The game has
been praised by critics and fans for delivering a unique, fun and
thrilling experience while setting a new bar for online multiplayer
gameplay. GameSpot claims "Titanfall is a leap forward for
shooters", while Rolling Stone calls Titanfall "the most
anticipated next-generation videogame of the year".
"Creating Titanfall has really been an incredible journey for our
team at Respawn and we're excited to be able to finally get the game
we've been making into everyone's hands," said Vince Zampella, a
Co-Creator of CALL OF DUTY and Co-Founder of Respawn Entertainment.
"We're a small, tight-knit team, and I'm proud to have come together
with them over these last few years to create something that we think
pushes the boundaries and is above all else fun."
"Titanfall is the result of an amazing partnership between
Respawn Entertainment, the Xbox team at Microsoft and EA," said Patrick
Soderlund, Executive Vice President, EA Studios. "Combining the talent
and vision of the developers at Respawn with the power of Microsoft's
Xbox Cloud Compute infrastructure and EA's global publishing reach, Titanfall
is going to deliver a truly incredible new experience to gamers."
"At Xbox we have a long history of bringing blockbuster multiplayer
games to our fans that have redefined what it means to play games with
friends and others around the world," said Yusuf Mehdi, Chief Marketing
and Strategy Officer, Devices and Studios at Microsoft. "Leveraging the
power of Xbox One and in close collaboration with our partners at
Respawn Entertainment and Electronic Arts, Titanfall is poised to
be one of those breakthrough games that ignites the potential of this
generation."
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 will be available on Xbox One and PC in Europe
beginning March 13, 2014 and in the UK on March 14, 2014. The Xbox 360
version, developed by Bluepoint Games, will be available beginning March
25, 2014. For gamers looking to extend the fight on the Frontier, the Titanfall
Season Pass will deliver three content packs as soon as they become
available. The Titanfall Season Pass is available at a one-time
price of $24.99 and can now be purchased for the Xbox One here
and on Origin for PC here.
The Titanfall Season Pass for Xbox 360 will be available starting
March 25. For more information on the game, please visit www.titanfall.com.
