Star Wars game cancelled as EA cuts 670 jobs

Electronic Arts (EA) has announced that they are cancelling their upcoming Star Wars game and cutting 670 jobs in response to disappointing financial results.

The game, codenamed “Project Ragtag,” was in development at EA’s Vancouver studio and was set to be a single-player action-adventure game set in the Star Wars universe. However, after several years in development, EA has decided to scrap the project due to concerns about its potential profitability.

The decision to cancel the game has come as a shock to many fans, who were eagerly anticipating a new addition to the Star Wars gaming franchise. EA has faced criticism in the past for their handling of the Star Wars license, with many fans feeling that the company has not lived up to their expectations for the beloved sci-fi series.

In addition to cancelling the game, EA has also announced that they will be cutting 670 jobs across multiple studios and departments. The company attributed the layoffs to a need to “streamline operations” and focus on core franchises.

While the news is undoubtedly disappointing for Star Wars fans and employees of EA, the company remains committed to the Star Wars brand and plans to continue developing games set in the iconic galaxy far, far away.
