Last week, EA announced a significant workforce reduction of 670 employees, representing 5% of the company's total staff. The decision was attributed to the 'accelerating industry transformation' as stated by the company. Notably, EA revealed its intention to shift away from developing future licensed intellectual properties (IP).
This strategic shift raises questions about the fate of ongoing projects, including anticipated Black Panther and Iron Man games under development for Marvel. While the third installment of the Jedi: Fallen Order series and a Star Wars strategy game are confirmed to continue, Respawn's Mandalorian first-person shooter has been scrapped before its full unveiling.
