Bungie is reportedly planning significant layoffs following the end of active development for Destiny 2, which will transition to a maintenance mode on June 9th. The studio is shifting resources to its new game, Marathon, which has had a lukewarm reception and is undergoing significant changes to broaden its appeal. Despite substantial impairment losses for Sony, the company remains committed to Marathon and Bungie, though the future of both games and the studio's overall size is uncertain.
