Electronic Arts joins Microsoft or Sony in making cuts and laying off employees. And this leads, in most cases, to cancellations. And the first to fall, or the first that has been speculated to have been cancelled, comes from Respawn Entertainment. And the Star Wars shooter he was developing would have been cancelled. We are talking about the one that a few days ago was speculated to bring a first-person shooter from The Mandalorian.
It's not the first speculated, unconfirmed game that has been cancelled. A few days ago it was clear that something was not going well when there was speculation about the case of Titanfall 3. Do not doubt that in the next few hours we will see rumors or confirmations from studios of projects that are canceled, or to be more precise, that remain in limbo . Because it seems that this crisis situation among large companies is going to continue for a while.
The Star Wars shooter that Respawn Entertainment was developing has been canceled
Although the rumor of the development of this game by Respawn Entertainment was quite well founded, the cancellation only refers to the project without clarifying details. It is specified in a statement, the president of entertainment and technology at EA, Laura Miele, has been the one to communicate that the company will be affected by the restructuring plans. This restructuring will mean that the Star Wars FPS that the studio confirmed in 2022 has been canceled.
With this, he also wanted to confirm that Respawn Entertainment will focus on two lines, the one that defines Apex Legends and the one that defines Star Wars Jedi. With all this, we also have to abandon the idea of hoping that one day they will announce the development of a new Titanfall. In Miele's words, she comments that “When analyzing Respawn's portfolio over the past few months, what is clear is that the games our players are most excited about are Jedi and Respawn's rich library of own brands,” However, he adds that “focus our efforts on new projects based on our own brands while also providing support for existing games.”
And as we have suggested, it is no longer just the rumor that pointed to that shooter that was confirmed years ago, but that lately was on everyone's lips for being the game that would bring the popular character from the Disney series to video games, would have been cancelled. But the seriousness of the matter is that what Respawn Entertainment can do will be completely limited to two licenses. It seems that they are going to maintain the Star Wars Jedi saga, which has become one of the company's most profitable games, although recently the director has decided to leave the company. On the other hand, it is Apex Legendswhich is one of the references within the live-services offered in this area.

The bad thing is that looking to the future it does not seem likely that these rumors about other projects linked to this company will prosper. Knowing how eager there is for a new one to arrive titanfall, even the interest that this Star Wars shooter could arouse, whether or not it was the game of The Mandalorian, that Respawn Entertainment is so limited by this situation in the industry, should raise consciences. Let's hope this doesn't get worse and we have to regret closures of important studios, wherever they are from.
