Apex Legends leads leave Respawn to form triple-A Gravity Well studio

Apex Legends executive producer Drew McCoy and lead programmer Jon “Slothy” Shiring have a new studio. The pair have left Respawn Entertainment after 10 years there to form Gravity Well. This new company will also focus on blockbuster-scale games, but it will do so while mostly working remotely with under 100 employees.

Gravity Well is opening in Los Angeles, and it’s looking to hire up staff immediately. In a post on the studio’s website, McCoy says that this is an opportunity to change how people make triple-A games.
