Titanfall release date announced

Respawn Entertainment has today revealed the launch date for their eagerly anticipated first-person shooter, Titanfall. The date in question, in the UK at least, is March 14 (in North America it ships on March 11), and the game will land on Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC.

"Since we revealed the game in June we've been absolutely blown away by the reaction to Titanfall," said Respawn's Vince Zampella. "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."

At the same time as announcing the launch date for the game, Respawn has also revealed a £249.99 Collector's Edition (yup - that's more than half an Xbox One). This edition will include a "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."

Pre-orders will also receive a limited edition poster from participating retailers, or you can pre-order online from the Titanfall store. We also recently talked to Respawn Entertainment's community manager, Abbie Heppe, and you can see that interview below, along with some gameplay footage.
