Titanfall's release date falls back to April on Xbox 360

Titanfall delayed on Xbox 360

Terminal week, Titanfall arrived on Xbox One and PC to much acclamation. Titanfall is the start game produced past Respawn Entertainment, the new studio formed by the creators of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Information technology also happens to exist exclusive to Xbox One, 360, and PC thanks to an understanding betwixt Microsoft and the game'south publisher: Electronic Arts.

The Xbox 360 version of Titanfall did not launch alongside its current-gen brothers, having instead been scheduled for a March 25 release. Xbox 360 shooter fanatics will accept to await a footling longer to play the game though, as EA just pushed its release back into early April. Does this bode poorly for previous-gen Titanfall?

Delay of game

Although EA and Microsoft have been heavily promoting the Xbox One version of Titanfall since last twelvemonth, they have even so to release a single asset from the Xbox 360 version. Respawn Entertainment did not develop the 360 game, instead handing porting duties over to Bluepoint Games.

Bluepoint is a studio that specializes in porting games from one platform to some other, having worked on the God of State of war and Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collections for Sony and the Metal Gear Solid Hard disk Collection for Konami. They as well ported a couple of Sony games to the Vita.

We know Bluepoint has the chops to bring games to new hardware, but the secrecy behind Titanfall'south Xbox 360 version and this new release delay all the same provide crusade for business organisation. Shouldn't someone in the games media have seen Titanfall running on Xbox 360 past at present? Microsoft wants to sell Xbox Ones and Titanfall is certainly a arrangement seller. Just the 360 version has the potential to do brisk sales too thanks to that console's larger established audience, afterward all.

Downwardly to the wire

Patrick Söderlund, EVP at EA Studios explains the delay and attempts to at-home gamers' fears:

"I've been playing the game a lot, and it is fantastic. Only we run into a few things that tin can exist fabricated even amend, so we're giving Bluepoint a piddling more time to practice just that and evangelize an epic Titanfall experience for Xbox 360 players.

Titanfall for Xbox 360 volition now exist releasing on April viii in Due north America, and kickoff on April eleven in Europe. The game will feature the aforementioned 6v6 gameplay, maps, modes, weapons and Burn Cards as the Xbox One and PC versions of the game."

The exact reason backside the 360 version'south delay isn't quite clear. Generally, if a game needed a lot more work you'd expect a filibuster months instead of weeks. I'm thinking i or more disquisitional bugs popped up during the certification procedure, necessitating the delay. Xbox 360 Titanfall discs take surely already gone into production, then the extra work Bluepoint and EA are doing at present won't make information technology onto the disc itself. Instead, expect a title update to accompany the game on release day. Titanfall is an online-but game, so players will need to be online in guild to play anyway.

Titanfall will arrive on Xbox 360 on Tuesday, April 8 in the US and Friday, April 11 in Europe. Let'south hope it turns out likewise as Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare did.
