Overview

• Parsons exits after more than two decades at Bungie, having served as CEO since 2016, with Truman elevated from roles including Destiny 2 general manager and chief development officer.
• Truman pledged a renewed focus on Bungie’s core franchises, saying the studio will share new looks at Destiny and Marathon before year’s end.
• Bungie cut roughly 220 jobs in 2024 as Parsons acknowledged the studio had exceeded its financial safety margins, with a further 155 roles later absorbed by Sony.
• Marathon remains delayed to an unspecified date following tepid alpha feedback, and Bungie previously removed uncredited art from the project after a plagiarism dispute.
• Recent Destiny 2 releases have underperformed, and reporting indicates Sony’s oversight has increased since its $3.6 billion acquisition as it pushes for progress on live-service plans.
