EA Lays Off Hundreds of Workers, Cancels Titanfall Game
Briefly

Electronic Arts is notably laying off between 300 and 400 employees, including approximately 100 at Respawn Entertainment. Alongside these layoffs, EA has canceled a Titanfall game known as R7, which was still in early development. Justin Higgs, a company spokesperson, stated that these changes align with EA's strategic priorities aimed at future growth. Respawn will focus on ongoing projects, such as the next Jedi game, even as other projects are shelved. The decision comes amid financial pressures from previous game releases falling short of sales expectations.
Between 300 and 400 positions were eliminated, including around 100 at Respawn, as part of Electronic Arts' organizational changes.
Respawn is known for the Apex Legends and Star Wars Jedi titles, and it will continue working on the next Jedi game.
