THE FUSE

Yesterday, it was confirmed that Vince Zampella, the head of Respawn also known for his work as a lead developer on Call of Duty and Battlefield, was killed in a car accident on Sunday, December 21. Zampella had a storied career, co-founding Infinity Ward in 2002, which would go on to spend the next two decades creating Call of Duty games. After a messy breakup with Activision, he went on to found Titanfall developer Respawn Entertainment and was eventually made the lead of the Battlefield franchise in 2021.
