Bungie Changes Marathon Leader, People Worried About Job Losses

The game company Bungie is feeling worried because of job cuts that happened last year. Now, they have big plans to change things for Marathon, their new game after Destiny. They are changing the team leader for making the game. Christopher Barrett is being replaced by Joe Ziegler, who used to lead for Valorant at Riot Games.

Ziegler has confirmed he’s the new director and is very excited to share more about the game. With him in charge, the game will now let players choose heroes instead of making their own characters. Even with these changes, there’s fear that more job cuts might happen after they release another Destiny 2 expansion, The Final Shape.

The company is working hard to get Marathon ready and deal with challenges. There’s also talk about some leaders leaving Bungie after Sony buys the company. It’s a difficult time at Bungie, with past job cuts making people feel down and unsure about what will happen next.

Everyone is hoping that The Final Shape will be successful to prevent more issues. Bungie hasn’t spoken about these problems yet.
