Bungie Bungie, the Play Station studio behind Destiny, is planning a "significant number" of layoffs, according to Bloomberg. The report came shortly after the studio announced that it was ending active development on Destiny 2 to start working on its next games. Bloomberg says, however, that Bungie doesn't have any new projects lined up, and it doesn't plan to immediately start working on Destiny 3.
The studio will instead focus on its latest game Marathon, its first-person shooter that came out in March, perhaps in an effort to develop the kind of features and updates that would get more players to sign up. Marathon didn't perform quite as well as Sony had hoped, and it had led to a $560 million loss for the company for the quarter that ended after the game came out. Bungie had already moved some Destiny staff to the Marathon team in recent months, which signals that it's putting more resources into the struggling game.
