Summary

  • Video gaming developer Respawn has laid off an unspecified number of staff and scrapped two projects in the early stages of development as it looks to focus on its key titles.
  • The company, which is owned by US gaming giant Electronic Arts, posted a message on social media in which it confirmed the decision, but did not say how many staff had lost their jobs or what projects had been affected.
  • The statement added that laid-off employees would have the chance to find a new role within EA.
  • It is not the first time that Respawn has made staff redundant, while last year Electronic Arts axed 470 jobs.
