- Quick Answer: Bungie is reportedly not working on Destiny 3 and laying off staff to focus entirely on their extraction shooter, Marathon, following a significant financial review by Sony.
No, Bungie isn't immediately working on Destiny 3, reports have suggested. Following news that Destiny 2 would no longer receive any further content drops after its upcoming June update, a new report indicates that Sony will make cuts within the studio, which will now focus solely on Marathon for the foreseeable future.
Bloomberg reports that Bungie is preparing for significant layoffs, with no plans for Destiny 3 in sight, amid dwindling interest in the franchise and a $765 million impairment loss by Sony tied to Bungie. This is not net money lost, but rather that Bungie's valuation has fallen significantly below what Sony had anticipated, partially due to both Destiny 2 and Marathon underperforming.
Following The Final Shape in 2024, Destiny 2's last major expansion, the team shifted to less demanding content drops with a higher cadence of release. Sure, fans were getting more content, but it simply wasn't good enough.
Now, all efforts of the remaining team, if the report ends up being accurate, will focus on Marathon, with plans of making it a bigger game that appeals to the hardcore extraction shooter audience and perhaps some of those Destiny enthusiasts who will have to find a looter shooter that keeps getting updated, as a new PvE mode is in the works.
