Update: Respawn co-founder Vince Zampella has now confirmed Jason West's departure from the studio in a statement on Respawn's official site. Zampella posted the following:
"Jason has left Respawn to take care of some family issues. 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. 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."
Co-founder Jason West has left Respawn Entertainment. Originally reported by Kotaku (and since confirmed by IGN sources), West reportedly departed the studio due to family issues and has been gone since last year.
West’s departure is not expected to impact development of Respawn’s first project, which co-founder Vince Zampella teased last week for a reveal at this year’s E3.
West and Zampella originally co-founded Call of Duty studio Infinity Ward before departing and forming Respawn in 2010. The pair settled their lawsuit with Activision over Modern Warfare royalties last year.
IGN has reached out to Respawn for comment and will update this story with any additional info we receive.
