Bungie has confirmed a company-wide reorganization that includes significant layoffs, impacting what the studio describes as "most of the Destiny team." The announcement, made via an X post on June 25, follows previous indications from the developer about workforce reductions. Sony, Bungie's parent company, also commented on the situation, acknowledging the substantial impact on employees.
In their statement, Bungie leadership expressed that "Destiny 2 fell short of expectations these past several years." The studio indicated that after the final content update for the game and with future projects still in early development, maintaining their previous operational size was no longer feasible. The full extent of the impact on ongoing and future projects remains to be seen as the story develops.
