PlayStation Studios confirmed that Bungie is cutting its workforce following that final update to Destiny 2. The studio said the shooter fell short of expectations after the content cycle was shortened, prompting a round of substantial layoffs as development on the upcoming title Marathon moves forward.
Layoffs are being carried out while Bungie's next project, Marathon, progresses toward release. The reduction was disclosed in statements covered by The Verge, Forbes and IGN, which noted the cuts follow the end of Destiny 2's content cycle.
