Bloomberg: Bungie planning significant layoffs following end of Destiny 2 development. Destiny 3 is not in active production.
Bungie staff are pitching and prototyping new projects, including in the Destiny franchise, but none have been greenlit As a Destiny 2 player, it’s truly nonsense to blame the death purely on Marathon.
it is an easy scapegoat, but Destiny has been bleeding for many years. It lived way past Destiny 1. It has lived a long life. the fury that's about to come down on Marathon, which has been underperforming Destiny 2 in its worst content draught in history
Bungie made many decisions regarding the sandbox and expansions that continued to kill the player-base. I truly do mourn for the game we could’ve had.
I also don’t see Destiny 3 ever existing without Destiny 2 dying. The future remains uncertain and although frustrating, stay hopeful. Destiny 2 is ending. All expansions cancelled. No more content updates after this last one. It's over. A new report from Bloomberg claims that Bungie will suffer "significant" layoffs in the near future and that Destiny 3 is not actively in the works. This comes hours after Bungie confirmed that it would be winding down support for Destiny 2 after its next update, which is set to release in June.
Some feared this was a bad sign for Bungie's future, as Destiny 2 is its most popular active game. According to Bloomberg, Bungie leadership was evaluating ways to make Destiny 2 more accessible to new players, but ultimately decided to embrace Marathon and shifted developers and resources to the extraction shooter.
Bungie reportedly plans to continue pitching ideas in the Destiny universe, but there's no guarantee that they will be greenlit for full production due to a challenging market and econmic concerns. Currently, Bungie doesn't have another game lined up and there are no plans to enter development on Destiny 3 at this time. As of right now, Marathon will remain the focus for Bungie, with the studio hoping to increase player counts following a disappointing launch.
Bungie recently outlined its plans for the future of Marathon, confirming that it will be adding new PvE content that will appeal to players who don't care for PvP or extraction gameplay. There's also an effort underway to improve the onboarding experience to make the game less intimidating to newcomers. As of right now, it remains to be seen how effective this will all be, but it's clear that Bungie isn't throwing in the towel just yet.
