GameDev Pulse
Respawn is laying off staff: people from Apex and Jedi teams are also affected, two early stage projects are cancelled. Goodbye, Titanfall 3? #EA@GameDEV #LayOffs@GameDEV
More details from Jason Schreier: EA fired 300-400 people across the whole company, over 100 of them were from Respawn Entertainment.
The biggest project they cancelled is the extraction shooter based on Titanfall/Apex universe. Since several new extraction games failed to gain traction or engagement, EA is probably doing the right thing.
It's not the first wave of layoffs in EA this year (the biggest one was at Bioware). But they hope it will be the last one.
It's curious that EA is under pressure from all fronts: InZOI is way more popular than The Sims, several new football games are stealing attention from EA FC 25, Dragon Age got no sales (compared to AC Shadows, Kingdom Come II, Oblivion, and Expedition 33), and even Battlefield is facing pressure from Delta Force.
