Bad news, Titanfall fans: EA's latest staff cull has killed an unannounced Titanfall-themed extraction shooter that was in development at Respawn

EA is back at it again, laying off hundreds of staff across the company including roughly 100 at Respawn Entertainment. On top of these cuts, the publisher has cancelled some in-development projects, including what was reportedly going to be a new Titanfall game.

Respawn reportedly lay off staff across Apex Legends and Star Wars Jedi teams, cancel two incubation projects

Update: Bloomberg's Jason Schreier has since reported that between 300 and 400 positions have been "eliminated" across EA, including around 100 at EA. One of the cancelled incubation projects was also apparently an extraction shooter set in the Titanfall universe.



Apex Legends developer Respawn Entertainment have announced that two of its incubation projects have been cancelled, leading to what it calls a number of "target team adjustments across Apex Legends and Star Wars Jedi." You may notice that this language is particularly obtuse, in that it doesn't refer to these adjustments as layoffs. However, according to a report from IGN, layoffs have occurred, though just how many is currently unknown.

APRIL 2025: AWS SERVER MIGRATION

We wanted to share an update about a recent behind-the-scenes change we’ve made to improve your experience in Apex Legends.

As a long-term investment in the tech powering Apex, we’ve officially migrated our game servers to Amazon GameLift Servers. This partnership gives us more flexibility to identify and address issues across regions, ultimately helping us deliver a more consistent experience over time.

It’s worth noting that every player's connection is unique, and no single change will affect everyone the same way. But this move gives us stronger tools to dig into specific problem areas and, where possible, make improvements.

One early sign of progress: we've seen a noticeable drop in game server performance degradation, things like rubberbanding and hit registration issues. Post-migration, matches experiencing these issues have decreased. While this impacts a relatively small percentage of total matches, it's a meaningful step forward.

To celebrate the move and thank you for being part of this journey, we’ve lined up some fun things for you:
  • April 17–24: 1.5x XP on all sources
  • April 17–24: 2x XP when playing in a party
  • April 18–20: Double Battle Pass Stars on Weeklies


Thanks as always for playing, and we’ll keep you updated as we continue to invest in the future of Apex.
