Formed in 2010, Respawn Entertainment is still a relative newcomer to the video game industry, though its origins go much further back. Though Respawn is only about 14 years old, its founders Jason West and Vince Zampella have been in the gaming industry for quite a while longer, with their most famous prior work being as the leads of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare developer Infinity Ward. After some legal disputes with Activision, West and Zampella set out to form their own independent game studio, and thus Respawn was born, along with its debut title, Titanfall.
