Unfortunately, the publisher led by Andrew Wilson has once again scrapped something that Respawn Entertainment was working on, so the future of Titanfall is still uncertain…
Bloomberg editor Jason Schreier reported that Electronic Arts laid off 300-400 employees. Of those, about 100 worked at Respawn Entertainment, so that team was hit relatively hard by the layoffs. The studio is best known for Apex Legends, Titanfall, and the Star Wars Jedi games.
“As part of our continued focus on our long-term strategic priorities, we’ve made select changes within our organization that more effectively align teams and allocate resources to drive future growth,” Electronic Arts spokesman Justin Higgs said in a statement.
And Respawn Entertainment released a statement on Twitter confirming the layoffs, as well as the cancellation of two early-stage incubation projects: “As we sharpen our focus for the future, we’ve made the decision to exit two early-stage incubation projects and make some targeted team adjustments across Apex Legends and Star Wars Jedi. These decisions are not easy, and we are deeply grateful to each of the affected team members-your creativity and contributions have helped make Respawn what it is today. We’re offering meaningful support to those affected, including exploring new opportunities within Electronic Arts,” Respawn wrote.

According to Bloomberg, one of those early incubation projects was an unannounced extraction shooter codenamed R7, set in the Titanfall universe. The second project was reportedly canceled earlier this year. Respawn will continue development on the third installment in the Star Wars Jedi series (this has been officially announced and reported by us), with the goal of once again raising the bar in storytelling and gameplay. The studio also plans to work on the upcoming Apex Legends seasons and overhaul the game.
Why is Titanfall having no luck? After all, it’s been almost nine years since Titanfall 2 was released…
