Respawn Entertainment has really delivered with all titles so far. It is all the more interesting that the developer studio is now officially devoting itself to a new project under a completely new brand.
In the past, Respawn Entertainment delivered the Titanfall series and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, but the studio is currently best known for the Battle Royale surprise hit Apex Legends, which has meanwhile mutated into a long-running hit. But now the studio is also devoting itself to a completely new project.
Programmer Steven Kah Hien Wong spoke up via Twitter and confirmed that a game in a completely new IP is currently in an early phase at respawn. The responsible team is currently still very small and consists of only five employees; They are currently looking for a coder as the sixth employee.

Respawn boss Vince Zampella himself took this job application as an opportunity to also speak to the short message service. He speaks of “super exciting stuff” with regard to the new game project, so he seems to be absolutely convinced that Respawn can land another hit with the next title.
Since this is a new IP, the new title, which is probably several years away, will not belong to either the Titanfall or the Star Wars universe. So far the studio has always been active in these ranks, but is now breaking away with the new game. A year ago, Zampella had confirmed that the studio would not be developing any other Titanfall games anyway. It is not known whether this is still the case today, regardless of the work on a new IP.
In Apex Legends, Respawn Entertainment will be kicking off Season 9 shortly.
In cooperation with Oculus, the Titanfall makers from Respawn Entertainment are working on a first-person fighting game for VR headsets. Planned release: 2019.
