EA lays off hundreds of employees, according to report
- Electronic Arts laid off roughly 670 employees in 2024, including about 100 at Respawn Entertainment, and canceled multiple projects across its studios.
- These layoffs and project cancellations were part of continued organizational changes since 2023, with EA discontinuing two early-development Respawn projects and reorganizing staff within the teams behind Apex Legends and Star Wars Jedi.
- Respawn confirmed the cancellation of a multiplayer FPS and a Titanfall-related extraction shooter dubbed R7, while shifting some staff to EA Motive's Iron Man game and focusing on flagship titles.
- An EA spokesperson stated these steps "more effectively align teams and allocate resources in service of driving future growth," and Respawn expressed gratitude to affected employees for their creativity and contributions.
- The changes suggest EA aims to sharpen its strategic focus despite jarring layoffs, offering impacted staff 30 days to seek internal roles and continuing development on Apex Legends and Star Wars projects.
