Layoffs Strike Bungie Following Recent Destiny 2 Update, Affecting Majority of Shooter's Team

In May, Bungie revealed that their enduring shooter MMO, Destiny 2, would get its last significant update in June. This declaration was paired with speculation about possible layoffs after the update’s rollout. Now, just more than two weeks after the update’s release, Bungie has verified that layoffs are, in fact, taking place. These layoffs are allegedly impacting a considerable segment of the Destiny 2 team. This situation signifies a crucial turning point for both the game and its community, as the company redirects its focus and resources after the end of Destiny 2’s major updates.
