Titanfall from Respawn Entertainment is a Microsoft exclusive

Titanfall from Respawn Entertainment has been revealed as a Microsoft exclusive. Coming to the Xbox One and PC in Spring 2014, Titanfall is the first title out of Respawn’s studio which is full of ex-Infinity Ward guys, among others. These are some of the guys that created Call of Duty and I’m sure they hope to have similar success with Titanfall. Titanfall 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.

“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 Duty and 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.”

Titanfall will be available for the Xbox One and PC in Spring 2014. The Xbox 360 edition is in development at an external development studio with support from Respawn. Which version will you be picking up?
