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.

    Oh my god. It actually was a Titanfall game.

    I am fully convinced an exec at EA just has a personal hatred for Titanfall.

        I mean, that still sounds pretty fun. Their horde mode in TF2 was fun so I’d imagine this would be too
