Apex Legends devs working on new game that will let players \u201cadventure forever\u201d Respawn EntertainmentRespawn Entertainment, the Californian studio behind battle royale Apex Legends, the Titanfall franchise, and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, are working on a secret new game that will reportedly let players keep \u201cadventuring forever.\u201d Respawn has gone from strength to strength in recent years. In early 2019, the studio exploded into the battle royale scene with Apex Legends, after years of cult success with the Titanfall 2 franchise. They also struck gold with the Star Wars adventure title \u2018Jedi: Fallen Order\u2019, a canon story in Disney\u2019s new universe. Now it\u2019s been confirmed they\u2019re developing a mysterious new game. Update, January 6, 2021 5AM ET: The job listing linked below now goes to a blank page, with the description stripped out, and the job itself is no longer listed on the vacancies page. According to a new job listing posted on Respawn\u2019s website, the studio is putting together an incubation team to develop \u201ca brand new IP,\u201d or \u2018intellectual property.\u2019 The advertisement calls for a \u201cgeneralist software engineer\u201d. The listing has relatively few details on the project itself, besides confirming the title will use \u201cnew, practical technologies\u201d to \u201cenable \u2018adventuring forever\u2019,\u201d. This may suggest a live, long-term game with ongoing Respawn Entertainment support. Respawn remains quiet on \u201cnew IP\u201d project Outside of the relatively vague job listing, there has been no official word from the North American studio regarding a new game or series in development. The revelation a \u201cnew IP\u201d is on the way comes just months after Respawn shifted much of their Apex development to a new studio in Vancouver. At the time, rumors were Respawn was already cooking up a new title in their old Californian locale. The only word then, though, was it \u201cwasn\u2019t Titanfall 3.\u201d \u201cWe love to dabble,\u201d Respawn\u2019s chief operating officer Dusty Welch said of the studio\u2019s planned projects in a 2020 interview. \u201cVince [Zampella] loves to dabble in all kinds of projects. His taste for game-making is not just in shooters. But look, you\u2019ve got Star Wars out there. That\u2019s a huge passion for Vince and I \u2014 and we love all kinds of different games. We\u2019ll continue to think about ways to expand.\u201d It\u2019s also likely whatever this new title is, it won\u2019t be related to Star Wars or the \u201cFallen Order\u201d series. Instead, Respawn appears to be stepping away from the two series that have made them famous in favor of a totally new world. Is Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2 canceled? That doesn\u2019t mean a new Fallen Order title won\u2019t be coming either. In late March last year, Electronics Arts applauded Respawn for their \u201cbreakout title,\u201d and suggested they would be looking to make it into a Star Wars franchise. There has been no official word on those plans since mid-2020, however. For now, sit tight. Respawn will still be a long way off any official announcements regarding this title, especially considering they\u2019re only just getting software engineers on-board now. And Apex Legends fans, no need to worry; the battle royale won\u2019t suffer a smidge from the new focus. That\u2019s why they established the Vancouver studio!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
