Respawn Entertainment headed to E3 2013
Respawn Entertainment has confirmed it will be in attendance at E3 2013, presumably to show off its first game.
“I’ve gotten a ‘few’ questions about E3 Expo plans this year. Yes, we will finally be at E3,” Respawn co-founder Vince Zampella said on Twitter.
“I have no intention of showing up empty handed. I can’t say anything else right now,” he added.
Respawn was founded by Zampella and long-time colleague Jason West after the two left Infinity Ward, the Activision-owned Call of Duty developer they founded and builty up.
Respawn has a publishing contract with EA, and has attracted a significant number of former Infinity Ward staffers.
Famously, West and Zampella were accused of fraternising with the enemy (EA) and were forcibly ejected from Infinity Ward; the resulting lawsuit took years to settle.
Respawn has dropped only the vaguest hints of what its first project might be – although presumably it’s a shooter, and probably a multi-platform release on current and next-gen systems. Its release date is unknown.
E3 2013 takes places from June 11 through 13 in Los Angeles.

I wonder if they are going to do a Bungie and tell us how revolutionary and gamechanging the game is that they can’t show us now.

I actually want really cool Sci-fi shooter. They are with EA and they can do really well this time with good tech.

I somewhat hope it will be a Blackberry exclusive card game. Just for the pure WTF?! moment, followed by the nerd rage. It will be glorious ^^
Seriously though, i’m expecting another generic FPS, which might be great. BLOPS 2 was a generic FPS and i thought that was pretty decent. Obviously not as good as DOOM or QUAKE, but then again, what is?

Probably the first time in well over a decade that I’m hyped to see an EA game!
