The studio behind Apex Legends and the Star Wars Jedi series is going through 'difficult changes.'
Respawn Entertainment, a subsidiary of Electronic Arts, has undergone significant layoffs affecting approximately 20% of its workforce, with around 100 employees being let go. This decision was part of a broader restructuring effort by Electronic Arts, which also led to the cancellation of several projects at Respawn, including a Star Wars first-person shooter and an unannounced game based on the Mandalorian. The layoffs and project cancellations have raised concerns about the future direction of Respawn, known for successful titles like Apex Legends and Titanfall, and have sparked discussions about the stability and strategic focus within the gaming industry.
