Description
Bungie just announced a massive round of layoffs, and it is way worse than anyone anticipated. With most of the Destiny 2 team let go, studio head Justin Truman stepping down, and Sony taking drastic control, what does this mean for the future of Marathon and the official end of Destiny?
In today's video, we are breaking down the devastating news regarding the Bungie layoffs. Following a brutal public memo from PlayStation Studios head Hermen Hulst, it has been confirmed that Sony is drastically downsizing the studio, completely gutting the remaining Destiny team and even cutting developers from Marathon.
With Destiny 2 content officially coming to an end and future incubation projects completely frozen, Sony's $3.6 billion acquisition looks like a total disaster. We’re diving deep into the internal shifting, the departure of studio leadership, and why bad management ran one of gaming's most legendary studios straight into the dirt.
Is Destiny 3 officially dead? Can Marathon survive this collapse? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
