Bungie faces major layoffs

Destiny developer Bungie is reportedly preparing for 'significant' layoffs as it concludes development on its flagship live-service shooter.

The news follows an internal announcement that the studio currently has no plans to develop a 'Destiny 3' sequel, focusing instead on its upcoming project, Marathon.

Employees have expressed frustration over unrealistic constraints and the sudden shift in direction after years of maintaining high quality standards.

The potential staff cuts mark a difficult period for the iconic studio, which was acquired by Sony in 2022, leaving the future of the Destiny franchise in question.
