EA cuts hundreds of jobs, Titanfall project cancelled at Respawn

EA has announced yet another round of mass layoffs. Hundreds of employees are set to be let go in the coming months at studios across EA. Respawn has been hit particularly hard, losing 100 employees, resulting in two cancelled projects. 

According to a Bloomberg report, around 300 to 400 employees will be cut, including 100 employees from Respawn. In the case of Respawn, the studio is restructuring to further focus on its Star Wars projects and Apex Legends.

One of the projects cancelled at Respawn was a new Titanfall game, but the title was still in early development and was not close to release. In recent months, rumours have claimed that Titanfall 3 was in development but it appears that was not the case. The cancelled Titanfall project was supposedly set to be an extraction shooter.

This new round of job cuts follows on from a rough 2024, during which EA ended up letting go of around 700 staff members across its teams. The poor performance of Dragon Age The Veilguard and lower than expected sales for EA FC 25 have led to a substantial dip in EA’s market value in Q1 2025.

KitGuru Says: I am interested more in hearing about EA FC 25 failing to hit expectations. If the EA Sports empire begins to wane, then there won’t be much left to prop up development for the few single-player games remaining in EA’s arsenal.
