Electronic Arts is laying off hundreds of workers and canceling a Titanfall
game that was in development at its Respawn Entertainment subsidiary. From a
report: Between 300 and 400 positions were eliminated, including around 100
at Respawn, according to a person familiar with the cuts. The company had
about 13,700 employees at the end of March 2024. "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," Justin Higgs, a spokesman for the
Redwood City, California-based company, said in a statement. The canceled
project, code-named R7, was an extraction shooter set in the Titanfall
universe, according to people familiar with its development. It was not close
to being released.
