Respawn Entertainment has announced that they have established a third studio in Madison, Wisconsin in the United States Of America, which will be led by Ryan Burnett. Burnett has almost 20 years of experience in the games industry, having previously worked at Raven Software and Epic Games.

This is their third studio after the one in Los Angeles, USA, and Vancouver, Canada. This bodes well for the developer, who has grown more successful in recent years thanks to the success of Apex Legends and Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order. Their next game, Star Wars Jedi Survivor, is set to launch for the PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC on 28 April 2023.

In a press release, Respawn Entertainment senior vice president of operations Daniel Suarez said:

“It’s been our belief since day one that Respawn is not a singular location but a mindset: when passionate and talented people have creative freedom, they’ll achieve the unexpected. This view helped us successfully expand to Vancouver in 2019, and as the workplace evolved, it helped us continue to work with the best that the games industry has to offer, whether at the office, remote, or hybrid.

We see that Respawn mindset reflected in Madison, which has cemented itself as one of the great game development cities not just in the United States but the entire world. That’s why we’ve worked closely with and appreciate the assistance of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) to help facilitate the studio’s growth in Madison.”
