Bungie, a game developer under Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE), has initiated a restructuring.

On the 25th, Bungie announced via its official X (formerly Twitter) account that it is reducing its workforce in the wake of Destiny 2's underperformance. Expressing deep regret over the layoffs resulting from the organizational restructuring, Bungie noted that the performance of Destiny 2 over the past few years had fallen short of the company's expectations.

Destiny 2 had been experiencing a slump, and on May 22 (KST), the company announced that it would end live service following the 'Monument of Triumph' update. While the scale of the restructuring has not been confirmed, Bungie stated that it is committed to restoring the studio's competitiveness through these changes.

Hermen Hulst, CEO of SIE’s Studio Business Group, also expressed regret over the layoffs at Bungie on the same day, while emphasizing that operations for 'Marathon' would remain unaffected.

CEO Hulst noted that Marathon has laid a solid foundation through its first and second seasons and will continue to evolve, adding that SIE will continue to provide full support for Bungie's future projects.

Meanwhile, despite CEO Hulst's remarks, concerns are emerging regarding how this restructuring might impact the overall operation of 'Marathon' moving forward. 'Marathon' recently implemented its Season 2 update.
