> 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 canceled project, code-named R7, was an extraction shooter set in the Titanfall universe, according to people familiar with its development. It was not close to being released.
We’re never gonna get another titanfall and that makes me sad
Imagine if new games set in the Titanfall universe actually had mech gameplay in them again
Watch as the former devs make a better Titanfall than EA like the former Ubisoft devs made Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Let EA cave in on itself

WOW… What The Fuck?
Wasn’t Apex:L a huge success? Wasn’t the next TitanFall one of the most anticipated FPS?
What’s happening at EA?
ea being ea
Is anybody keeping track of how many mass layoffs there have been within the last year or two?
Welcome to the glorious economy Trump promised.
The worst video game company ever lays off more people to satisfy their greed and continue to churn out crappy annual release games.
Well, EA can’t survive off just FC and Madden.
They have been in perpetual decline for years. They have lost all ingenuity and imagination to make great games.
*everyone hated that*
They fucking cancelled WHAT.
I wish I never even knew about a new Titanfall game being in development
I’ll fucking make Titanfall 3 myself. I’ve watched PLENTY of Blender tutorials on tiktok. I got yall.
Long as yall are okay with lots of toruses.
Tipical EA L, nothing new
Thanks I fucking hate it
Is it really that surprising from EA? Trash company doing trash things.
The future of gaming is going to be Indy developers. Small independent studios.
Who the hell would want to be at a big developer and ride the hire layoff rehire layoff merge rebrand layoff hire layoff merge rollercoaster over and over.
So new $75 skin for Apex confirmed?
Me finding out there was another Titan Fall game in the works: NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Me finding it out was just another extraction shooter set in the Titan Fall universe: Oh thank god….
Coming soon, totally unrelated: grotesque bonuses for the execs.
This has to be a fucking joke…
Titanfall was doomed to fail anyway
Brutal.
What a shitty industry videogames seems to be.
I feel bad for the workers. But screw EA.
It was an extraction shooter.
Still, it really sucks for the hundreds of people laid off.
EA are so silly. They have the golden goose but don’t use the eggs.
We will never reunite with BT. 😭
What is up with them and can’t just give what the fans want?
I thought it would take a little longer before the summer bloodbath started across all industries but here we are
Well, I guess I’m not that upset about losing another extraction shooter.
Damn, that sucks. Titanfall deserved better, and it’s heartbreaking for all the devs getting laid off. Hope they find new gigs fast.
We already have Titanfall 3 though….
Wait what subs am i in again now
Fuck EA. 400 jobs lost like that is heartless
Seems like EA wants to make layoffs an annual thing after they cut 800 in 2023 and 700 in 2024.
Well, you try to nickel and dime everyone who plays your games this happens.
They were making a new Titanfall game?!
> the canceled project, code-named R7, was an extraction shooter set in the Titanfall universe
🥱
watch them announce record breaking profits or something soon
oh, so one of the all time mech games that your fans have been absolutely pining for… thats the one you cancelled
FFS
Extractions are a fringe genre. I can’t see them as being big money makers for AAA companies.
Sad for folks to get laid off but EA blows anyways.
F EA !!
It’s in the ass !!! EA games!!
