"EA's Layoffs Strike Apex Legends Developer Respawn"

EA is implementing a restructuring plan that involves laying off 5% of its workforce, affecting 23 employees at Respawn Entertainment, including some from the Apex Legends team. Despite recent layoffs and the cancellation of an unannounced Star Wars game, the company is maintaining faith in the game and Respawn overall. The CFO indicated that Apex Legends missed projections but was on an upswing, and the CEO expressed confidence in its performance. Additionally, plans for Apex Legends to expand beyond the traditional battle royale experience are in the works.
