Titanfall dev has a "bit of fear" over game's release
Respawn cofounder Vince Zampella says the game's upcoming beta period should help alleviate his fears; beta access won't require that you preorder.
Titanfall developer Respawn Entertainment is excited about the game's upcoming launch next month, but the studio is also experiencing another emotion: fear.
"Yes, but mixed with a bit of fear," Respawn cofounder Vince Zampella said to a fan on Twitter who asked if he was excited about the game's release on March 11.
It appears the studio's trepidation surrounding Titanfall's launch comes down to the multiplayer-themed game's heavy dependence on its networking features, including its cloud-based functionality.
"We want the launch to be as smooth as possible," Zampella added. "Beta should help."
Last month, Respawn confirmed that a beta for Titanfall would be held on Xbox One and PC, but would not reveal its launch date, believed to be February 14--Valentine's Day. Zampella has now confirmed that you won't need to preorder Titanfall to gain access to the beta. Unfortunately, it remains unclear how you'll be able to enter the beta.
Titanfall is published by Electronic Arts, the publisher that oversaw the rocky launch of Battlefield 4, another online- and multiplayer-focused game. Last week, EA management assured players that Titanfall won't repeat Battlefield 4's launch woes.
