TL;DR

EA's ongoing cuts have led to around 23 layoffs at Respawn, impacting the development of Apex Legends and other projects. The layoffs are part of a broader restructuring effort at EA, which aims to focus on its own franchises over licensed IP. Despite the layoffs, EA plans to continue investing in the development of Apex Legends, emphasizing its importance for the future. Additionally, EA has canceled a Star Wars FPS and shuttered Ridgeline Games, while continuing work on other projects like the next Jedi game, Black Panther, and Iron Man. These industry-wide layoffs have disproportionately impacted disabled workers.
