[NEW YORK] Electronic Arts (EA) is laying off hundreds of workers and cancelling a Titanfall game that was in development at its Respawn Entertainment subsidiary.
Between 300 and 400 positions were eliminated, including around 100 at Respawn, according to a source familiar with the cuts.
“As part of our continued focus on our long-term strategic priorities, we have made select changes within our organisation that more effectively aligns teams and allocates resources in service of driving future growth,” Justin Higgs, a spokesperson for the Redwood City, California-based company, said.
The cancelled project, code-named R7, was an extraction shooter set in the Titanfall universe, according to sources familiar with its development. It was not close to being released.
In a post on social media, Respawn said it “made the decision to step away from two early-stage incubation projects and make some targeted team adjustments”. The other project referenced in the statement was cancelled earlier this year, the sources said.
Respawn is known for the Apex Legends and Star Wars Jedi titles, and the company said it would continue working on the next Jedi game as well as new seasons and an overhaul for Apex Legends.
Earlier this year, EA reduced its bookings estimate for the fiscal year following the miss of its latest soccer game, EA Sports FC 25. The company also shrunk its subsidiary BioWare following the release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, which it said missed sales expectations by 50 per cent. BLOOMBERG
