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.

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

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.

For brain rotten morons that only care about money.. they really don't seem to want mine.

Fuck 'em.

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.
