Respawn Cancels Two Projects: Focus Shifts to Apex Legends and Star Wars
Respawn Entertainment announced in an official statement that it has canceled two in-development projects to prioritize resources on Apex Legends and the Star Wars Jedi franchise.
The studio clarified that the canceled titles were in early incubation, emphasizing that the decision was not made lightly. Affected team members will receive support and opportunities to transition to other roles within parent company EA. This strategic shift also led to restructuring within the Apex Legends and Star Wars Jedi teams, hinting at potential layoffs or internal reallocations.
Future Plans: Apex Legends and Star Wars
The statement highlighted ambitious goals for Apex Legends, promising not only competitive seasonal updates but also “bold experiments to push the boundaries of the battle royale genre.” The team aims to enhance core gameplay while exploring new modes and features.
For Star Wars, Respawn reiterated its commitment to expanding the Jedi series, with a focus on elevating storytelling and gameplay in the next installment. The studio expressed excitement about delivering “fresh narratives within the beloved Star Wars universe.”
What About Titanfall 3 Rumors?
Though Respawn did not name the canceled projects, speculation surged among fans that one could be the long-rumored Titanfall 3. Leaks and industry whispers had previously hinted at its revival, but this cancellation dashes those hopes. Notably, Titanfall 3 was reportedly scrapped once before during development. Once again, the fate of the Titanfall franchise remains shrouded in mystery—leaving fans to wonder if it’s truly gone for good.
