One of gaming's best-known studios, Halo and Destiny creator Bungie, is laying off 220 workers to get the company on better financial footing, according to a Tuesday announcement by CEO Pete Parsons. To soften the blow, the affected people are being offered severance, bonuses, and health insurance. Some job losses were avoided by sending 155 people over to Sony Interactive Entertainment, Bungie's parent company.
We love a good RPG, and now Sony's most powerful console can make them look better than ever before.
Bungie is also working to spin off «an action game set in a brand-new science-fantasy universe» within a new brand under PlayStation Studios. Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier claims that about 75 people are involved in the new project. Back at Bungie, the focus will be exclusively on Destiny and Marathon for the foreseeable future.
