The video-game publisher cuts between 300 and 400 jobs
Electronic Arts Inc. is laying off hundreds of workers and canceling 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 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.
My hopes are somehow retroactively inflated learning it was real but at the same time also destroyed knowing that that means a new game is even less likely now.
I remember seeing a guy with a gamertag EA_C_Suite, and I think I killed him like 30 times in one match. I think this one’s on me guys, sorry, I just really like Scortch.

Oh my god. It actually was a Titanfall game.
I am fully convinced an exec at EA just has a personal hatred for Titanfall.
For brain rotten morons that only care about money… they really don’t seem to want mine.
Fuck 'em.
It was a Titanfall extraction shooter, so not the Titanfall you were looking for.
I mean, that still sounds pretty fun. Their horde mode in TF2 was fun so I’d imagine this would be too
