TITANFALL 2 OPEN MULTIPLAYER TECHNICAL TEST DATES ANNOUNCED

 

Singapore – August
17, 2016 – Today, Respawn
Entertainment and Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) announced that the Titanfall® 2Open
Multiplayer Technical Test will be available across two weekends in August for
the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and Xbox One, the all-in-one
games and entertainment system from Microsoft. Fans will be able to get their
hands on the fast, fluid, Pilot and Titan gameplay that is at the core of the Titanfall experience
while helping the team at Respawn test the Titanfall 2 servers
and backend systems prior to the games release on October 28th worldwide.

It all starts the
weekend of Friday, August 19th, where fans will be able to play two
exciting new Titanfall 2 multiplayer modes across two maps:

·         Bounty Hunt (5v5): A brand new mode that pits Pilots and
their teammates against an opposing team as well as the Remnant Fleet. Earn
bonuses by killing grunts and enemies, but make sure and deposit all your
points at the bank between waves without getting killed.

·         Pilots vs. Pilots (8v8): Players can be the best Pilot on the
Frontier and put their combat and mobility skills to the ultimate test in this
classic 8 vs 8 Pilots only mode.

·         Boomtown: A secret underground IMC facility where the latest in R&D
is put to the test. In this facility Pilots can use the many peaked roofs to
use as cover against combatants below. With tight lanes through the middle,
Titans can also be easily ambushed.

·         Homestead: The IMC have claimed Imminent Domain on a small commune’s plot
of land. With a series of raised, rocky plateaus and a river running down the
middle, Pilots are mostly safe from Titans among the rocks and trees but they
also can duck into the caves and building when needed. However, the Titans
control the large rolling fields.

During the second
weekend of the Titanfall 2 open multiplayer technical test,
all the content from the previous weekend will still be available, plus a brand
new mode and map for players to enjoy:

·         Amped Hardpoint (6v6): A new twist on Hardpoint Domination from
the original game; now defending a Hardpoint will let you amp it, giving your
team double score. Team work is the key to securing victory.

·         Forward Base Kodai: Militia forces have taken over an IMC
substation and set up a forward operating base. Pilots can find safety from
Titans in the hallways and chambers of the main building, while Titans can walk
over the roof to get a better view of the action.

During the open
multiplayer technical test, fans will have access to two all-new Titans: Ion
and Scorch, as well as a range of Pilot tactical abilities including Grapple,
Holo Point, and Pulse Blade. Fans will also have access to a variety of weapons
including a deadly horizontal spread shotgun known as the Masttiff and the
Alternator, a dual-barrel SMG.

In addition, players
are encouraged to try out Networks, a brand new feature in Titanfall 2 that
makes finding and playing with friends fast and easy. To learn more about the Titanfall
2 Open Multiplayer Technical Test, head over to www.titanfall.com for all the details.

facing off for bragging rights on the Frontier.

Titanfall 2 is crafted by one of the co-creators of Call
of Duty and other key designers behind the Call of Duty franchise,
and is set to build on the foundation Respawn established with the first Titanfall
– fast, fluid, fun gameplay between Pilots and Titans. Titanfall
2 will also mark the debut of a crafted single player experience that
explores the unique bond between man and machine. Playable offline, the single
player campaign in Titanfall 2 will let fans step out onto the
Frontier as a Militia rifleman with aspirations of becoming an elite Pilot.
Stranded behind enemy lines and facing overwhelming odds, players must team up
with a veteran Titan to uphold a mission they were never meant to carry out.

Fans wanting to hit
The Frontier first on October 28 can pre-order Titanfall 2 now
