Apex Legends studio Respawn hit by EA layoffs according to employees
Apex Legends developer Respawn is the latest studio to be affected by EA layoffs.
Word began circulating that Respawn Entertainment employees – particularly those on its Apex Legends team – had lost their jobs earlier today, as colleagues and those directly impacted started sharing the news on social media.
“The Apex team was hit with layoffs today,” Apex Legends level designer Aaron Stump posted. “It sucks seeing some of the people I’ve worked with for almost three years now get let go.”
“Rough day at EA. Rough day at Respawn,” senior writer Peter Stewart wrote on Twitter/X. “Although I’m thankful to be safe, my thoughts are with everyone affected by the ongoing layoffs, and if there’s any way I can help or signal boost, I will do. It’s really hard to find the energy and joy to make games in this environment.”
