Respawn Entertainment is an American video game developer based in Sherman Oaks, California, founded in 2010 by Infinity Ward co-founders and Call of Duty co-creators Jason West and Vince Zampella. Created in the aftermath of West and Zampella's acrimonius departure from their former studio after conflict with Activision executives (and staffed by IW veterans), the studio was funded by Electronic Arts to create their first game, the Competitive Multiplayer First-Person Shooter Mecha game Titanfall, before being acquired by EA in 2017. They are most famous for their Battle Royale Game Apex Legends and their Star Wars souls-like action games Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.
As part of the Medal of Honor Virtual Reality game Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond, Respawn have also co-produced (with Oculus) the documentary Colette, in which French Resistance fighter Colette Marin-Catherine visited the Mittelbau-Dora concentration camp. The film won the Academy Award for Best Documentary (Short Subject), making Respawn the only video game developer to win (or be nominated for) an Oscar.
