Electronic Arts’ planned layoff of 5% of its workforce is taking an immediate toll.
Shortly after Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson announced plans to cut 5% of the studio’s workforce, EA’s entertainment and technology president Laura Miele said the company has also decided to cancel a Star Wars FPS that was in development at Respawn and close the studio that was working on the singleplayer campaign for the next Battlefield game.
The project was one of three Star Wars games in the works at Respawn that were announced in early 2022, a year after EA committed to sticking with the franchise despite the loss of its exclusivity deal with Disney.
