EA announces Titanfall PC, Xbox 360, Xbox One release date

UPDATE: EA has told Eurogamer that Titanfall's UK release date is actually 14th March, a Friday. The game's wallet-busting Collector's Edition will also land on our shores - for the same number of pounds as its priced in dollars, a whopping £249.

ORIGINAL STORY: EA has announced the Titanfall PC, Xbox 360 and Xbox One release date as "beginning" 13th March 2014 in Europe. In North America the date is 11th March.

The 13th is a Thursday, which is an unusual day for a game to launch in the UK. Normally games come out on a Friday. I'm checking it out.

EA also announced a Collector's Edition that carries a whopping SRP of $249.99 (£TBC). This has an 18-inch Atlas titan statue with battery-powered LED lighting, a beefy art book and a big schematic poster of an Atlas titan mech.

There's a new trailer too.
