Bungie’s financial troubles just beginning as possible Sony takeover reportedly looms

A new report about Destiny 2 developer Bungie paints an even grimmer behind-the-scenes picture than expected, with claims that Sony could completely take over if Bungie falls too far behind its financial targets.

This is according to IGN and comes after a large round of layoffs as well as delays for both Destiny 2‘s next major expansion, The Final Shape, and the studio’s Marathon reboot. Back when Sony acquired Bungie in January 2022, Sony assured fans that Bungie would retain its independence. To some, this just meant that Destiny 2 and future games wouldn’t suddenly become PlayStation exclusives, but it also meant Bungie leadership would maintain creative control of the studio.
