Press Release
Electronic Entertainment Expo Los
Angeles, Calif. – June 10, 2013 – Electronic Arts Inc.
(NASDAQ: EA) and independent videogame developer Respawn
Entertainment today revealed the world debut of Titanfall™, the
studio’s inaugural title. Crafted by one of the co-creators of Call
of Duty and other key developers behind the Call of
Duty franchise, Titanfall is among the most highly
anticipated of E3 2013, having been shrouded in mystery for nearly
three years. The visionaries at Respawn have drawn inspiration from
their proven experience in first-person action gaming, and are
building on that pedigree by taking a new approach to game design and
creating an all-new universe with Titanfall. The game is
entirely multiplayer, in a new experience that combines fast-paced
multiplayer action with the heroic set piece moments traditionally
found in campaign mode. Set in a distant frontier torn apart by war,
players will have the freedom to switch between fighting as elite
assault Pilots or agile, heavily armored, 24-foot tall Titans. To see
the announcement trailer for Titanfall, please visit the
game’s official web site www.titanfall.com.
“It’s an exciting time in the industry and it feels like the perfect time to be unveiling Titanfall,” said Vince Zampella, a Co-Creator of Call of Dutyand Co-Founder of Respawn Entertainment. “Our passion at Respawn is games and we are focused on bringing something exciting to kick off the next generation of software.”
The universe of Titanfall juxtaposes small vs. giant, natural vs. industrial and man vs. machine. The game drops players into a conflict between the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation (IMC) and the Militia as elite Pilots. With the ability to shift back and forth between pilot and Titan, players will have the freedom to change tactics on the fly, attacking or escaping depending on the situation. Titanfall Game Director Steve Fukuda added, “In addition to infusing the multiplayer experience with cinematic flavor, we’ve been rethinking fundamental combat and movement in the genre. Titanfall is unique in the way that it places equal emphasis on two drastically different and new ways to move and fight in a first-person shooter. The intersection of the two is a big part of what give Titanfall its iconic identity.”
Available spring 2014, Titanfall will be available for Xbox One®, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, PC and Xbox 360® games and entertainment system from Microsoft The Xbox 360 version of Titanfall is in development at an external development studio with support from Respawn.
