Yes you can still play the game.  Been confirmed multiple times.  They said the Xbox will connect to the internet once a day.  We don't know what that means yet.  Could be to update the console, servers, etc.  We dont know what that means yet.

Link to any confirmations about being able to continue playing games on it if you haven't connected to the Internet in awhile?


By Phil Harrison

"For single-player games that don’t require connectivity to Xbox Live, you should be able to play those without interruption should your Internet connection go down. Blu-ray movies and other downloaded entertainment should be accessible when your Internet connection may be interrupted. But the device is fundamentally designed to be expanded and extended by the Internet as many devices are today."

Xbox One is no different in that it requires, at some point in the beginning and at various times through its on state, to connect to our cloud and to our Internet. That is to deliver Xbox Live functionality, that is to deliver download content to you, that is to deliver some of the innovations around TV and entertainment that we showed today. But it doesn’t require it to be online all the time."

As you can see games and movies can be played offline.  The only thing internet is needed for is Xbox live functionality, DLC, etc.
