Respawn Entertainment, the studio behind Apex Legends, has canceled an unannounced incubation project, resulting in layoffs. This was first reported by Insider Gaming, citing a since-removed LinkedIn post from a former production coordinator.
IGN independently confirmed the cancellation. The project, described as a multiplayer FPS, stemmed from a team previously working on a canceled Star Wars FPS project at Respawn. While the exact number of layoffs remains unconfirmed, sources indicate a relatively small number of individuals were affected. At least one individual connected to the project has clarified on LinkedIn that their departure was voluntary.
This cancellation follows a pattern of project cancellations and layoffs within EA. In 2023, EA eliminated 50 jobs at BioWare and an unspecified number at Codemasters. A year prior, 670 employees company-wide were laid off, including approximately two dozen at Respawn, alongside the cancellation of several projects, including the aforementioned Star Wars FPS. Further restructuring at BioWare has also led to additional layoffs.
Electronic Arts has been contacted for comment.
