Titanfall PC, Xbox One beta confirmed, rumoured for Valentine's Day

The Xbox 360 version is being handled by Bluepoint Games.

A Titanfall beta on PC and Xbox One has been confirmed by Respawn co-founder Vince Zampella on Twitter.

Unfortunately he said nothing of the dates or if it will also be on Xbox 360. "Details in the coming days," he teased.

Zampella's confirmation of the beta follows rumours that it will run from 14th February through 19th February. French publication Xboxygen has pics of promotional materials advertising said beta and reportedly heard from a source at Zappos that it will be available for PC, Xbox One and Xbox 360 via both Zappos and GameStop. We've requested confirmation from Titanfall publisher EA on this, but have yet to hear back.

Elsewhere in Titanfall new, Zampella confirmed on Twitter that the Xbox 360 version of the mech-based FPS is being developed by Bluepoint Games.

Bluepoint is best known for its wonderful restorations of PS2 games on PS3. The studio - presided over by Metroid Prime technical lead Andy O'Neil - is most famous for its PS3-exclusive Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, God of War Collection, and Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection. Bluepoint also developed the Vita version of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, and brought Flower to both PS4 and Vita.
