EA lukker ned for nyt Titanfall singleplayer-spil fra Respawn

Mange har ventet på at Respawn fik samlet sig om et nyt Titanfall-spil, og selvom at studiet har slået fast at det ikke lige var på tegnebrættet, så siger en ny rapport at det var det altså - indtil for nylig.

Jason Schreier har slået fast via Bloomberg, at EA netop har lukket ned for et internt projekt hos Respawn med kodenavnet "TFL", eller "Titanfall Legends", et singleplayer-spil i samme univers som netop Apex Legends og Titanfall.

"The canceled project, code-named TFL or Titanfall Legends, was a single-player game set in the universe shared by the Apex Legends and Titanfall games. It was directed by veteran designer Mohammad Alavi until he left the company in early 2022. Although the game hadn't been advertised, EA had hinted at it several times. "

Ikke nok med det, nogle af de 50 ansatte der arbejdede på projektet vil blive fyret fra Respawn, mens andre vil blive allokeret andetsteds internt.

"Management informed the unnamed game's team of about 50 people that EA will try to find positions for them within the company. Anyone who can't be placed will be given severance packages and laid off, according to the people familiar with the matter, who asked to speak anonymously because they were not authorized to speak to the press. An EA spokesperson declined to comment."
