Dave and Busters Exclusive?

> This summer, get your hands on Halo: Fireteam Raven – a new co-op arcade shooting game from Raw Thrills, Play Mechanix, & 343 Industries. Drop into action as an elite ODST squad during the events of Halo: Combat Evolved – play it first at @DaveandBusters! http://aka.ms/FireteamRaven

I guess my main question is does this mean that it will be coming other places eventually? I hope so because it looks like a really interesting concept, but the nearest Dave and Busters is an hour and a half away from where I live. Glad 343 decided to do something a little out of the box this definitely looks like something I would like to try.

I suspect it’ll be mainly the original trilogy due to the art style but I suspect they’ll add more via update…something similar to how Dragonball Heroes is setup so they can more content at a later date.

This came totally out of nowhere! (As far as I can tell).

Unfortunately I’m in Vancouver Canada, and the closest Dave & Busters is Auburn Washington.

Road trip?

If you think that’s bad…I’ve never heard of them till the stream.

Neither had I.

The way they worded it during the stream made it seem like there would definitely be a wider release down the line. Now, will this be through a partnership like Dave & Busters or just a larger retail release for smaller arcades to purchase for themselves? I don’t think we have enough information there yet

I am located near Halifax and the closest one to me is a 12 hour drive. I would need to take vacation days to go play one of these. Playing this with 4 friends will be near impossible.

> It is canon. Someone should do a deeper dive on that soon. Hmm…
> There are plans for outside the US, stay tuned for more on that. In the US, you can play it first at Dave n Busters beginning in July.

Yep! Fireteam Raven will debut exclusively at Dave and Busters in North America this summer. Later on (I don’t know exact timing), Raven will be available for anyone else to purchase / offer. Fireteam Raven will also be available outside of North America this summer, once we have more details of specific regions/locations we’ll be sure to pass it on.

Looks tempting! Verge article

Really hoping that my local movie theater picks one up during the later release. Driving for 4 hours to play a game is a bit of a stretch.
Looks like good fun!

Wow I’m actually lucky on this one. There is a Dave & Busters two minutes from where I work. Can’t wait to try it out!!
