Respawn Entertainment co-founder Jason West has retired, reports Polygon, saying this is due to family-related issues, and that multiple sources tell them he will be gone for some time. There is a similar story on Kotaku saying they've confirmed this with two separate sources, adding that one "reliable source" says he hasn't actually been with the studio since last May. West formed Respawn with Vince Zampella in 2010 after the pair parted ways with Infinity Ward, the studio the pair also cofounded, leading to some eventually settled legal fireworks. Respawn bas not yet commented on these reports.
