Respawn Entertainment has developed an impressive list of titles in the last few years, including Apex Legends, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and most recently the VR title Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond. The studio, consisting of a little more than 300 employees, was purchased by Electronic Arts in 2017 and has continued to develop games. Now, a job listing at Respawn Entertainment could point to a brand new IP.
Respawn Entertainment is currently looking to hire a generalist software engineer. However, on Respawn’s job listing page, each new position also has a designated game attached, such as Apex Legends or Star Wars, but the job listing for the generalist software engineer position only specifies the position is for a “New IP Incubation Team.” This could point to Respawn actively creating a brand new IP to develop, but it’s likely still in the early stages.
Because the job listing specifies new IP incubation, it sadly means that the new position will most likely not have anything to do with a new Titanfall title or the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order sequel. However, Respawn Entertainment’s recent titles have largely been met with positive fan feedback so an entirely new IP is an exciting prospect.
Respawn Entertainment has shown incredible range in terms of game design, having released a first-person shooter, a Star Wars action-adventure title, and an exclusively VR title in the last two years. Respawn Entertainment got its start with the Titanfall franchise in 2014, but has not developed a new entry in the franchise since 2016. Rumors have circulated regarding the development of Titanfall 3, however, a brand new IP could overshadow the development.
EA has confirmed that the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is the first entry of the franchise, so fans will see more Star Wars content coming from Respawn, but as far as a brand new IP is concerned, the subject is a mystery. The job details do not reveal much about what the new IP could entail, other than a small bullet point in the “Why Join Us” section that reads, “Pioneer new, practical technology to enable ‘adventuring forever’.” While the description does not reveal much, it could be hinting at gameplay technology that may be developed for the new IP.
Respawn Entertainment has been busy with continued support for Apex Legends, Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond, and most likely the development of a Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order sequel. If a brand new IP is being developed as well, Respawn is in for a big year in 2021. Even though a new IP reveal from Respawn is most likely far off, more information may become available as it is developed.
