Respawn opens new Apex Legends development studio Electronic ArtsApex Legends creator Respawn Entertainment has established a new development studio in Madison, Wisconsin to further support the battle royale game. Respawn started as the Titanfall studio some years ago but has since grown exponentially. On top of expanding the Titanfall brand with Apex Legends, the California-based outfit managed to reinvigorate Electronic Arts\u2019 single-player endeavors by launching Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order to massive success. Notably, Respawn also dabbled in VR with the award-winning Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond. And fans are eager to see what the crew does with its eagerly-anticipated Star Wars-branded FPS title. But, of course, Apex Legends has proven integral to keeping the lights on over the last several years. It makes sense, then, that Respawn and EA have chosen to invest even more resources into the IP\u2019s future. Respawn establishes new studio for Apex Legends support Respawn has cut the ribbon on its third development house. Based out of Madison, Wisconsin, the new satellite team will be helmed by \u201cveteran AAA battle royale and FPS developers.\u201d Its primary focus will revolve around building content for Apex Legends, which now counts as Electronic Arts\u2019 marquee shooter series. Respawn brought in Epic Games and Raven Software veteran Ryan Burnett to serve as the new firm\u2019s Studio Director. Game Director Steven Ferreira said of the news (via GamesIndustry.biz): \u201cBuilding the live service of Apex is a constant cycle of trying new things and experimenting, and that\u2019s what Wisconsin is going to give us \u2013 that capacity to do more of that, pushing into new area[s] like Legend classes and trying to do things we haven\u2019t done before.\u201d Respawn\u2019s announcement of a new Apex Legends studio comes not even a month after EA laid off 200 Apex QA testers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. And the companies confirmed even earlier in the year that support for Apex Legends Mobile will cease on May 1, 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
