Remember back in the day when EA was a regular winner of the annual Worst Company in America award? Well, if there was a daily award today it may have reclaimed its crown. EA has just announced sweeping changes including mass redundancies and project cancellations. The cancellations include the heart-breaking cancellation of a new Titanfall series entry. Given the series already extended hiatus, it may be the final nail in the coffin to the beloved mech shooter.

Reported by Bloomberg's game journalist supremo, Jason Schreier, EA will cut many roles across their studios. A spokesman for EA said "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".

Included in the layoffs includes 100 roles at Titanfall and Star Wars Jedi series developer, Respawn. Respawn confirmed the changes via a post on social media but stopped short of announcing redundancy numbers:

Respawn said they will look to find "new opportunities within EA" for affected employees, what that means is unclear. The studio now intends to focus their development efforts on the highly successful FPS battle-royale, Apex Legends whilst developing a third entry in the Star Wars Jedi franchise.

Respawn also confirmed they will be making the "decision to step away from two early-stage incubation projects and make some targeted team adjustments". The two cancelled projects include an extraction-shooter in the Titanfall universe, codenamed R7.

EA's financial challenges have been well-documented including poor sales for Dragon Age: The Veilguard which underperformed sales expectations by some margin. The developer have been making efforts to monetize their games as much as possible, just last week FC 25's first paid Season Pass was announced.

This is only the latest round of mass layoffs in 2025, a year that has seen redundancies across Sony, Microsoft and many third-party developers. What the future holds for Titanfall series now is unknown, but its future within EA is bleak at best.
