Jason West one of the co-founders of Respawn Entertainment was rumoured to have family issues and hasn’t worked at the studio for a while, but now we have official confirmation of the same as the studio has given a statement.

“Jason has left Respawn to take care of some family issues,” Vince Zampella, co-founder of Respawn Entertainment wrote.

“We have worked together on some amazing accomplishments over the years, starting with an early Segasoft project that never shipped. It is sad to see things come to an end, but there are times when change is best for growth, both personally and professionally.

They will be showing their work at E3 which they have been making under EA.

“I wish Jason the best and send my best wishes to his family. Respawn continues to amaze me, the team here is resilient and talented. E3 will be therapeutic for us, as we finally get to start showing our work again. I know the team was excited about the response we got from just admitting we were going to attend.”

They are making an FPS game and had also teased a screenshot earlier.
