Respawn – the team that brought us Apex Legends and Titanfall – has reportedly cancelled an unannounced first-person multiplayer shooter.
A post by former Respawn production coordinator Emilee Evans shared via LinkedIn on Wednesday said that the “unannounced incubation project” she had been a part of for the last year had been cancelled.
In her LinkedIn post – which now appears to have been removed from the site – Evans wrote:
“The unannounced incubation project I was a part of for the past year was cancelled this week, so I am joining the group of extremely talented and kind people in the games industry searching for a new role” (via, GamePost).
While there is no concrete information on what the project Evans was working on was, an earlier job listing for the studio’s incubation game team hinted that it was a multiplayer FPS in very early stages, with the post specifically highlighting the successful candidate would have “significant professional experience designing Multiplayer FPS experiences”.
Last year, there were reports that Respawn was working on a game in the Titanfall universe, although not -read that, not – Titanfall 3. In 2023, it was revealed that Titanfall 3 was in development for almost a year before it was cancelled for Apex Legends.
At one point, Respawn was said to be working on a Star Wars Mandalorian game, which would have been set during the time of the Galactic Empire. However, this project was reportedly cancelled last year following layoffs at EA.
Eurogamer has reached out to EA for further comment on today’s reported cancellation.
