EA lays off staff and cancels a Titanfall game

Electronic Arts is reportedly eliminating “between 300 and 400 positions” and scrapping a game set in the Titanfall universe, codenamed R7, that was in the works at Respawn Entertainment, according to Bloomberg.

“As part of our continued focus on our long-term strategic priorities, we’ve made select changes within our organization that more effectively aligns teams and allocates resources in service of driving future growth,” EA spokesperson Justin Higgs said in a statement to Bloomberg.

In a statement posted on X, Respawn explains that it had to cancel two games that were in “early-stage incubation” and “make some targeted team adjustments” across Apex Legends and Star Wars Jedi. “These decisions aren’t easy, and we are deeply grateful to every teammate affected,” the post says. 

IGN reports that about 100 employees at Respawn were laid off, including developers, QA workers, and publishing staffers. IGN also says that some workers were moved from Respawn over to EA Motive’s Iron Man game, the Battlefield series, “and other projects.”

Additionally, Respawn’s SVP of operations Daniel Suarez is now GM of the studio and will report directly to its co-founder and CEO Vince Zampella. In 2021, EA put Zampella in charge of the Battlefield franchise as part of an internal shakeup.
