Respawn Entertainmenthas just been hit with another round of layoffs after multiple early-development projects were canceled.
As reported byIGN, a tweet from the officialRespawnaccount announced the layoffs.
Respawn says the affected employees will be able to explore “new opportunities within EA.”
According toIGN, the two canceled projects were a multiplayer FPS and an extraction shooter in theTitanfalluniverse.
Many studios seem to think the extraction shooter genre is ripe for another hit.
Just this year, we expect Bungie’sMarathon, Embark Studios’ARC Raiders, and Good Fun Corporation’sHungerto enter the scene.
