Respawn Entertainment, the developer behind Apex Legends, has canceled an unannounced incubation project, resulting in layoffs. This was first reported by Insider Gaming, citing a LinkedIn post from a former production coordinator.
IGN independently confirmed the cancellation. The project, a multiplayer FPS, stemmed from a team previously working on a canceled Star Wars FPS at Respawn. While the exact number of layoffs is unconfirmed, sources describe it as “small.” At least one individual associated with the project has clarified their departure was voluntary.
This cancellation follows a pattern of project cancellations and layoffs at EA, beginning in 2023 with job cuts at BioWare and Codemasters. A larger round of layoffs affecting 670 employees, including the closure of several projects (among them, the aforementioned Star Wars FPS), occurred almost exactly a year ago. Respawn itself experienced job losses in that round. Subsequently, EA restructured BioWare, leading to further internal developer reassignments and additional layoffs.
Electronic Arts has been contacted for comment.
