Summary
292 employees at Bungie’s Bellevue facility were listed in a Washington WARN filing, with workers notified Thursday and set to leave on July 9.
Sony Interactive Entertainment said the permanent cuts hit most of the Destiny team, some Marathon staff and support teams after months of reviewing Bungie’s direction, resource needs and portfolio role.
60 days of notice and pay instead of notice will be provided, and the filing said none of the affected employees are unionized.
Destiny 2’s final live-service content update has already been released, while Sony said Marathon remains a key franchise and that it will keep backing the team and future incubation projects.
