According to a Bloomberg report, EA has laid off over 300 employees as two major projects with Respawn have been cancelled before the upcoming business quarter.
Arguably one of the most anticipated upcoming titles, a new Titanfall installment is one of the projects being scrapped. Titanfall has always been a fan favourite and served as a money machine for EA for quite a while, which prompted the development of a new game in the series. Sadly, not only will we not be getting a new Titanfall, but this decision will also see several employees lose their jobs.
While Respawn shared a disheartening statement regarding the cancellation of the projects and layoffs, they did confirm that they will be “exploring bold experiences that push the boundaries of competitive play while staying true to the spirit of competition, creativity, and integrity that our community expects.”
It goes without saying that the cancellation of two major projects will not impact much of the company’s economic situation, given that they have several projects scheduled to be released in the coming days.
