Respawn Entertainment, the studio behind the popular battle royale shooter Apex Legends, has experienced a significant round of layoffs as part of Electronic Arts' (EA) broader restructuring efforts. This move has impacted around 23 employees at Respawn, highlighting the ongoing challenges within the video game industry. The layoffs come amidst EA's announcement of a $125 million restructuring plan, which aims to streamline operations but has resulted in job losses across the company, affecting approximately 5 percent of EA's workforce. Despite these cuts, Apex Legends remains a high priority for the company.
