Today, EA announced a major company shake-up that will result in roughly 670 individuals, or 5% of its workforce, losing their jobs. As a part of that same reorganization, a Star Wars FPS in-development at Respawn is being canceled.

Remember when spawn made games with soul? Good times.
- Remember when the entire video game industry had soul?
  
  It's been years.
  
  :(
  
  Literally last year everyone was raving about Baldur’s Gate 3 because it had so much soul.
- Pepperridge farm remembers
I’m wondering if the low sales on Immortals of Aveum caused them to make this decision.

So we’re apparently meant to accept bad writing to convince them to keep making singleplayer games.
Was this the rumored Mandalorian game? A shame because Respawn's pedigree for single player FPSes is short but incredible.
Fucking EA. Let's hope the Ubisoft one is good. And gets finished.
- It's going to be Assassin's Creed with lightsabers, probably. Potentially Far Cry with scifi weapons, like Blood Dragon.
  
  Can't say that I mind that.
  
  Maybe a Ghost Recon / Rainbow 6 in star wars? Aka Republic Commando successor.
Damn I really wanted to play the FPS.
Damn, that was the game I was most excited for. Respawn FPS games are my favorite (TF1/Apex) and I was really interested to see what they’d do with star wars
The madalorian one that I grumped about a few weeks ago ?
Lololol
