Jason was the co-founder of Respawn Entertainment, the company which is responsible for developing Titanfall and Apex Legends. Earlier he was the co-founder and president of most famous Call of Duty studio Infinity Ward. He is one of the best-in-class for the first person shooter titles. His work journey is very interesting because he is connected with all the best games in the console and gaming generation.

Back in 2013, he left Respawn Entertainment however Jason didn't join any other studio after that. This might be his first project since the launch of the original Titanfall.

Currently, Epic Games has not made the official announcement about the hiring. Let's see when the company will announce it officially. We still don't know for which project Epic Games has hired Jason. We can expect one more amazing first-person shooter game.
