SONY CONFIRMS NEW DETAILS ON BUNGIE RESTRUCTURING PLAN

(Image via Sony)

In a new briefing video, Sony President, COO and CFO Hiroki Totoki offered
clarifying statements about its Bungie restructuring plans.

Totoki said that the purpose of the restructure is “cost restructure and
portfolio optimization.” They also said that Bungie’s back office functions
“should be integrated with the studio of SIE.”

Totoki further mentioned plans to concentrate Bungie’s head count and resources
on Destiny 2 and live-service title Marathon. They said there would be “constant
resources there.” However, “other title development” will instead move to
PlayStation studios.

Rounding out the briefing’s mention of Bungie, Totoki broadly said that the
organizational structure will also be changed. There are plans to “optimize the
overall studio structure.”

The briefing follows Bungie’s extensive layoffs and restructuring, which Bungie
announced last week. It affected over 200 employees at Bungie, including about
17% of its workforce. Bungie also moved some of its employees to Sony as part of
the restructuring.



Bungie CEO Pete Parsons cited “rising costs of development and industry shifts
as well as enduring economic conditions.” They also called it a “difficult and
painful day, especially for our departing colleagues.”

In June 2024, Bungie announced that Destiny 2 Codename Frontiers is coming in
2025, though there isn’t a concrete release date yet. It was accompanied by
teasers for upcoming Year 10 episodes. These plans should remain unchanged,
given Sony’s new briefing.

    Put ALL of the content back in to Destiny 2, or just reboot the whole
    franchise. It’s BS that I can’t play through the first game and carry my
    character over to the 2nd because of some FOMO crap. And even if I could, I
    wouldn’t be able to play 2/3 of D2s story cuz it’s all sunset/seasonal
    stuff. I was really hoping So y would fix these problems.
