Bungie simply went by way of one other mass layoff with 220 builders shedding their jobs, and on prime of that tons of extra builders have been moved round from Bungie to Sony Interactive Leisure or spun-off into their very own new inner studio below PlayStation Studios.
All of meaning much less folks at Bungie that may very well be engaged on the studio’s fundamental tasks like Future and the upcoming Marathon. Whereas the Future group simply completed transport The Last Form, the stress is now on the Marathon group to ship.
So it doesn’t precisely bode properly to listen to that, in line with Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier, sentiment round Marathon at Bungie is “not nice.”
Throughout a visitor spot on the Pals Per Second Podcast, Schreier was requested to offer a “temperature verify” on how Marathon goes, after talking to quite a few Bungie staff for a few of his current reporting.
” *laughs* Not nice, from what I’ve heard. There’s a cause that it was deliberate for this 12 months and slipped an entire 12 months, and those who I’ve talked to are slightly pessimistic about it even hitting its present deliberate deadline.
However we’ll see.”
Hopefully for Bungie’s sake, issues do pull in the suitable course by the point Marathon is on cabinets and digital storefronts.
