Bungie has announced that it will stop providing live service content updates for Destiny 2, leading to speculation about the future of the franchise, particularly Destiny 3. However, sources indicate that the studio is not currently prioritizing the development of Destiny 3 and has not greenlit any specific projects for the Destiny 2 team. Additionally, Bungie is facing layoffs, a continuation of previous staff reductions that saw over 200 employees let go in 2024 after the cancellation of a Destiny spin-off game called Payback. The company is now focusing on 'incubating' new games, with plans to enhance its recently launched extraction shooter, Marathon, by adding a more casual Player vs. Environment (PvE) mode. Despite the positive reception of Marathon, its sales have not reached the levels desired by Bungie or its parent company, Sony. As Bungie navigates these changes, it remains to be seen how it will balance its existing franchises with new developments.
