Bungie Shakes Up Development Focus as Marathon Surpasses Destiny 2 in Staffing
Bungie has officially shifted its internal priorities, with the upcoming extraction shooter Marathon now commanding a larger development team than the long-standing Destiny 2. This strategic realignment highlights the studio's commitment to launching a successful new IP under Sony's ownership, especially as PlayStation seeks a breakout hit in the live-service market. While Destiny 2 remains a significant revenue driver, the redistribution of resources suggests that the future of the studio is increasingly tied to Marathon's ability to attract and retain a new generation of players.
