Ships Ahoy - Titanfall; First Patch Released

Titanfall is now available in North America, offering the chance to strap in with Respawn's multiplayer mech shooter for Windows and Xbox One, and Respawn tweets this image showing them attending a little midnight madness to launch the game. They also mention via Twitter that a patch is available for the PC edition to address delays in joining private server lobbies. We noted the first reviews rolling in last night, but the game still doesn't have a PC metascore. There's live-action and gameplay in a trailer called Titanfall: Life is Better With a Titan - Extended Cut promoting the release and there's another live-action clip on Your Titan is Ready (thanks Polygon). Here's word from the announcement:
Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) and independent videogame developer Respawn Entertainment announced that Titanfall™ is now available at retail stores across North America exclusively for Xbox One®, the all-in-one entertainment system from Microsoft and on Origin.com for PC. Since its unveiling last June, Titanfall has seized the attention of gamers around the world with its exhilarating first-person action gameplay centered on the dynamic between elite assault pilots and agile, heavily-armored, 24-foot titans. The game has been praised by critics and fans for delivering a unique, fun and thrilling experience while setting a new bar for online multiplayer gameplay. GameSpot claims “Titanfall is a leap forward for shooters”, while Rolling Stone calls Titanfall “the most anticipated next-generation videogame of the year”.

“Creating Titanfall has really been an incredible journey for our team at Respawn and we’re excited to be able to finally get the game we’ve been making into everyone’s hands,” said Vince Zampella, a Co-Creator of CALL OF DUTY and Co-Founder of Respawn Entertainment. “We’re a small, tight-knit team, and I’m proud to have come together with them over these last few years to create something that we think pushes the boundaries and is above all else fun.”
