RAPAWN a tranquillement annulé un projet d'incubation FPS multijoueur

Auteur:Kristen Mise à jour:Mar 17,2025

RAPAWN ENTERMENT, le studio derrière Apex Legends , a annulé un projet d'incubation inopiné, entraînant des licenciements. Cela a d'abord été rapporté par Insider Gaming, citant un poste LinkedIn d'un ancien coordinateur de la production.

IGN a confirmé indépendamment l'annulation. Le projet, décrit comme un FPS multijoueur, provenait d'une équipe travaillant auparavant sur un FPS Star Wars annulé chez RAPAWN. Bien que le nombre exact de licenciements reste non confirmé, les sources le décrivent comme «petite». Au moins un individu lié au projet a précisé que leur départ était volontaire.

Cette annulation suit un schéma d'annulations et de licenciements de projet à EA, à partir de 2023 avec des coupes d'emploi chez BioWare et Codemasters. Une plus grande série de licenciements en 2022 a eu un impact sur 670 employés à travers EA, y compris la fermeture de plusieurs projets, et a entraîné environ deux douzaines de pertes d'emplois à Respawn. Une restructuration supplémentaire chez BioWare a également conduit à des licenciements supplémentaires.

Les rumeurs sur Switch 2 suggèrent un "été de Switch 2" l'année prochaine

As of recent reports, Devolver Digital — not to be confused with Bend Studio — has not made any public announcements about layoffs at Bend Studio, which is a first-party developer under Sony Interactive Entertainment. However, there have been longstanding rumors and industry speculation regarding Bend Studio’s future, particularly after the release of Days Gone in 2019.
Here’s what’s known:

Days Gone, developed by Bend Studio, received mixed to positive reviews but underperformed commercially, which led to internal restructuring at Sony.
In 2020, Sony confirmed that Bend Studio was transitioning from Days Gone to a new, unannounced project — a move that was framed as a strategic shift rather than a cancellation of future work.
There were unconfirmed reports and rumors in 2021 and 2022 suggesting that Bend Studio had reduced staff, potentially due to shifting priorities or a focus on a new internal project. These rumors were never officially confirmed by Sony or Bend Studio.
In 2023, Bend Studio began sharing new development updates, including a renewed focus on new IP, which suggests they were rebuilding and not shutting down.

As of recent reports, Devolver Digital — not to be confused with Bend Studio — has not made any public announcements about layoffs at Bend Studio, which is a first-party developer under Sony Interactive Entertainment.

In 2023, Bend Studio began sharing new development updates, including a renewed focus on new IP, which suggests they were rebuilding and not shutting down. So, to clarify: No official job cuts at Bend Studio were confirmed by Sony or the studio itself. The term "cuts" may be a misinterpretation or exaggeration of internal restructuring or staff reallocation. The studio is still active and reportedly working on a new, undisclosed project — potentially a fresh IP, not a sequel to Days Gone. In short: There is no verified evidence of layoffs at Bend Studio. The studio is in a transition phase, focusing on a new, unknown project — common in the industry after a major title release. Bend Studio remains operational and part of Sony’s first-party development network.
