"Producing content on the scale and pace Apex requires is no easy feat," says Greg Wilson, Respawn vice president and general manager of the Apex franchise. While the latest studio may contribute to other Respawn products in future, the initial focus will be to support Apex Legends. While the studio continues to gain attention with its upcoming Star Wars game – Jedi Survivor – it's Apex Legends that's driving the growth, and it’s that game that has prompted the firm’s new branch in Madison, Wisconsin. Originally founded by former Call of Duty developers and debuting with military sci-fi shooter Titanfall in 2014, later working on the Star Wars Jedi series, Respawn is best known for Apex Legends, a battle royale that began life as a spin-off of Titanfall.

The ongoing popularity of Apex Legends has caused Respawn to open its third studio, the company has announced.
