Part 3/8:
EA’s Recent Restructuring and the Cancellation
Shockingly, less than two weeks after the initial reports, Electronic Arts (EA) announced the cancellation of the project. This decision was part of a broader restructuring effort, which included layoffs affecting approximately 5% of EA's workforce. As part of this move, the company also announced it would reduce its focus on developing new games based on licensed intellectual properties, including high-profile franchises like Star Wars.
EA’s move to cancel Respawn’s Mandalorian FPS underscores the ongoing struggles the company has faced with Star Wars gaming. This particular project, which was seen as a promising addition to the franchise's gaming catalog, is now officially dead in the water, leaving fans disappointed once again.
