In a shocking move, Bungie has confirmed that it will be laying off most of the Destiny 2 development team, bringing an end to the live-service game's nearly nine-year run. The news comes just weeks after the announcement of Destiny 2's final update, Monument of Triumph, which was released on June 9.

The layoffs are part of a larger effort by Bungie to realign its resources and priorities, with the studio citing a need to adapt to its current goals and long-term vision. While the exact number of affected employees has not been disclosed, the scale of the layoffs is expected to be significant, leaving Bungie a shadow of its former self.
