It’s been a rough last little bit for Bungie, despite Destiny 2 having continued to get some interesting little additions from time to time. Now, the studio’s Marathon reboot has switched directors, amid reports of a wider shakeup going on around the shooter.
This latest development follows layoffs at the studio late last year, which were followed by reports that Sony has the option to dissolve Bungie’s existing board and take full control of it if it misses its money-making goals by certain margins. Those cuts saw both Destiny 2’s The Final Shape and Marathon be hit with delays, with this being the first big news on the latter since that point.
So what’s happened? Well, first of all, previous project lead Christopher Barrett has officially been swapped out for Joe Ziegler, who has taken over as game director, having previously served in that role for Valorant.
