14 DAY TRIAL // Video game hardware maker Microsoft, developer Respawn Entertainment and publisher Electronic Arts will offer fans of the upcoming Titanfall shooter a special Xbox One bundle, designed to allow players to get access to the new console and a copy of the title.
A leak, which has been taken down, but preserved by NeoGAF, says that the new package will include:
- an Xbox One console and the associated Kinect sensor - the headset that Microsoft has announced for the device - a standard wireless controller - one month of Xbox Live membership, which enables multiplayer - a digital copy of Titanfall
Yusuf Mehdi, the chief marketing and strategy officer for the Xbox One, is the Microsoft representative who is quoted in the leaked announcement.
Full information from the three companies will apparently be offered via an official site tomorrow, when gamers will also be able to place pre-orders for the Titanfall bundle.
It’s unclear why the company is not including the official Titanfall-themed Xbox One controller in the new bundle.
Images associated with it have been leaked earlier in the month, but the company might use a slightly different design on the official version of the console.
Titanfall will be launched on the PC and the Xbox One on March 11 in the United States and on March 13 in Europe.
The Xbox 360 version of the game has been delayed by two weeks in order to give the companies the chance to deal with expected demand.
The shooter from Respawn Entertainment was played by more than 2 million gamers during the beta stage, which allowed the studio to test the core mechanics and the network infrastructure while also eliminating a number of bugs.
Titanfall is expected to deliver a solid boost to Xbox One sales for the month of March.
