Speaking with Eurogamer at gamescom, DeMartini said there are still quite a few things to do before work gets started on Respawn’s vision.
“The thing everybody needs to remember is they were starting at absolute zero,” he said. “This is two guys who really know what they’re doing having to go find a place for the team, buy chairs and desks and furniture, find new technology from the ground up, and pull a team together. I need to get HR people and contracts. There are all kinds of things and administration that need to take place.
The show is set to take place between July 14 and 16
EA is laying off an unknown number of individuals from across its Battlefield teams, including workers at Criterion, Dice, Ripple Effect, and Motive Studios, IGN understands.

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!
cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla
The free-to-play reboot topped 15 million players in under three weeks, but EA now claims it needs to reshape the development team.
The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result
It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way
Well, is anyone really surprised by that? At Quakecon they said they hadn't decided on an engine yet either.
I think they should be very happy they got EA who is willing to support their new team. I only can imagine how much work there is to building a whole new team from the ground up.
Unless Respawn develops their very own engine, I'd really hope they would go for the fantastically modified id Tech 3 engine -XreaL. They have great experience with id Tech 3, and the previous blockbuster game releases to prove it.
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's engines are both based on id Tech 3, although very modified like XreaL, but I imagine it's in Infinity Ward and ATVI's legal posession.
Find XreaL's official site here: http://xreal-project.net/
I'm sure whatever they come up with will not be milked every year like cod.Bubbles?
