EA Confirms Heavy Layoffs, Titanfall Game Cancelled

EA Titanfall

EA has confirmed a round of layoffs across its development studios, with Star Wars Jedi team Respawn Entertainment seemingly the hardest hit. According to a Bloomberg report that builds on EA’s statement, around 300 to 400 employees have reportedly lost their jobs.

Around 100 of those positions were within Respawn Entertainment, and the studio has had to cancel two games that were early in development. Jason Schreier of Bloomberg reports one of them was a Titanfall game designed to be an extraction shooter.

Officially, an EA spokesperson said: “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.”

Respawn Entertainment also had a statement of its own to share, where it confirmed “two early-stage incubation projects” have been cancelled. “These decisions aren’t easy, and we are deeply grateful to every teammate affected — their creativity and contributions have helped build Respawn into what it is today,” the statement continued. “We’re offering meaningful support those impacted, including exploring new opportunities within EA.”
