Bungie Slashes Jobs as It Shifts Away From Destiny Toward Marathon, Destiny 3 Uncertain

Bungie plans a significant round of layoffs as it ends active Destiny 2 development to focus on new projects, led by the Marathon shooter; there’s no immediate Destiny 3 plan and Sony hasn’t approved any new Destiny titles, though staff have pitched ideas. Marathon’s performance contributed to a quarterly loss, and Bungie has been reallocating Destiny staff to Marathon. Fans can expect Destiny 2’s Monument of Triumph update on June 9 and years of server support, but uncertainty remains about Bungie’s Destiny future after Sony’s 2022 acquisition.
