Jason Schreier reporting that Bungie is laying off staff today as part of cuts across Sony. The Final Shape has reportedly been delayed to June 2024 and Marathon to 2025.

Jason is very accurate with his reporting and has sources across the industry. We’ll likely hear something official soon.

Agree - they were 100% heading this way, but being part of Sony took this decision out of their hands and escalated it, I would wager.

Ouch. Looks like I was wrong.

If it is Sony's fault. I really wonder why they couldn't just wait 6 months, ya know, seeing as Bungie does have a pretty important thing coming up in a few months. I get it probably doesn't work that way, but you'd think they'd be like, "Okay, we need to get rid of some of your staff, but we'll let you finish off what you're doing.

Yup it's come out that we both were, Destiny 2 underperformed in sales and that's the source of the layoffs...
