Bungie's Destiny 2 Expansion Delayed and Layoffs Hit Studio

Bungie, the game developer behind Destiny 2, is facing layoffs and has announced delays for its upcoming titles, including the expansion for Destiny 2 called The Final Shape and the release of Marathon. The layoffs are part of ongoing cuts within Sony's PlayStation division, which acquired Bungie last year. The Final Shape is now expected to launch in June 2024, while Marathon's release has been pushed to 2025. These layoffs add to a series of job cuts in the gaming industry this year, including those at Epic Games, Naughty Dog, CD Projekt Red, and Niantic.
