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.

Marathon is not doing great: the close alpha test is almost as popular as Concord. People are invited in waves, there was a peak of ~7000 people, but then it quickly dropped to 1000, and at night time it dips as low as 58 players.
Seeing this, the speculated closure of Titanfall Extraction becomes more obvious — people are not into the concept and the success of Tarkov is rather an exemption.

And in contradiction to all I said, ARC Raiders from Embark is a great game — people generally praise it, despite its extraction genre!

Elden Ring Nightreign only supports 1 or 3 players per squad, and teams of 2 or 4 are not allowed. The developers said they didn't think it through and will probably add more options later.

Oh, and Remedy tried to grow into multiplayer games after Alan Wake II.
Their first game FBC: Firebreak launched with 60% positive reviews from players and media. It gained only a couple of thousands of CCU.
It's a premium $40 title, but it's also available in subscription services.

Oh my, Showdown Effect, my favourite multiplayer game, made by Arrowhead, the creators of Helldivers, is now free: 1. It used to be a premium $20 title with nearly no marketing 2. The online dried out quickly, but they kept selling it 3. It died completely…
We've played Showdown Effect with my son yesterday and yep: the game is still amazing and FREE!
But you need at least one person, since there are no other people online.

There's something unbelievable going on and all polls are nearly identical even among CoD fans:
No one gives a damn about the upcoming Black Ops, but people are generally hyped about Battlefield 6.

A good preview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPgZduHQJfU #Battlefield@GameDEV #EA@GameDEV
The open beta reached over 330K CCU and gained fairly positive feedback. Battlefield 6 is surprisingly fast, intense, and more focused on ground forces and tight combat.
The vehicles oriented maps are yet to be revealed. And some players believe it is intentionally competing against Call of Duty.

If you want to play BF6 now (and not wait for Open Open Beta), you can just launch your EA App, open Twitch, open ANY BF6 stream of a big streamer and get a key from his chat to activate in EA app.
Yes, it gives you early access for free.
Users also drop some extra they have.
Bots drop them every few minues.
Wait, is the game good?
Feels like BF4 + Insurgency Sandstorm!
(And I like it)

I'm quite surprised by Halo's new update
Halo Infinite just got its Operation: Shadows update… and while everyone else was busy playing the Battlefield 6 beta, I was playing the new maps, modes, and changes you probably missed. This isn’t just another small update, it caught me completely off guard.…

Wargaming is switching to modern tanks? The game used to be called Project Cold War as working title is how WoT Heat.
IMO: don't make so much blur, bloom, and aberrations. It's a multiplayer game, we need to SEE ENEMIES. Thank you!

Oddly enough, BF6 campaign, according to insights and appeared footages, is not reaching the glory of the multiplayer:
It's stiff and rough, the NPCs are too scripted, the events are too narrow most of the time. And even a few epic moments that look good, are more like “as good as some multiplayer events can be”.
The team should've tried to make it more organic and natural, IMO. The stakes are too high for BF as a whole.
