Respawn is making a new single-player adventure set in a ‘unique universe’

Respawn has confirmed it’s developing a new single-player adventure game.

Promoting the title online, creative director Mohammad Alavi said the studio is staffing up for the project.

“We’re developing a brand new singleplayer adventure from Respawn Entertainment,” he wrote. “We’re a small, but ambitious team with a history of dreaming big and making splashes.”

The EA studio behind Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Apex Legends and Titanfall is on the lookout for a lead technical designer, senior technical game designer, senior combat designer, and senior level designer.

“This new singleplayer title is a designer’s dream playground with a freedom to innovate made possible by the unique universe it inhabits,” the job descriptions read.

Respawn confirmed in April that it was working on an original game project, after a job advert spotted in January stated that the studio was forming a small incubation team to develop “a brand new IP”.

The title is “in its early stages” and the successful candidates will “have a direct hand in shaping a new game from the ground up”, according to the job adverts.
