Previously, there were several rumors about Respawn Entertainment making a new multiplayer FPS. Known for the Titanfall franchise and the hit battle royale Apex Legends, Respawn's rumored FPS got fans wondering whether a new Titanfall game is in development. However, that ship has sailed as the project has officially been canceled, and there is a high probability it could've been another Titanfall game.

Read on to learn more about the cancellation of Respawn's unannounced project.

Respawn recently started hiring for a new IP called "Incubation Team". Although many details regarding the IP were not revealed, the job description required people with experience in multiplayer FPS. That led the FPS community to believe the fan-favorite Titanfall franchise would return.

However, on a recent Linkedin post, Respawn's Production Coordinator Emilee Evans revealed that the incubation project was cancelled the previous week and they were looking for a new job:

"The unannounced incubation project I was a part of for the past year was canceled this week, so I am joining the group of extremely talented and kind people in the games industry searching for a new role."

This clearly signifies that the FPS that Respawn has been working on was canceled, and if it was another Titanfall game, it's not happening anytime soon. It's not the first time Respawn has canceled a game. If you are unaware, EA and Respawn previously worked on a Star Wars project, which was allegedly an FPS game.

Last year, EA announced a 670-person layoff alongside the cancellation of the Star Wars FPS game. Hence, it's not the first time. But this surely is sad news for FPS fans, as they have been clamoring for an FPS from Respawn for the longest time.
