Bungie reportedly had “5 or 6 games” in development, including Marathon and Destiny 2 – but most fell apart after Sony’s $3.6 billion acquisition

Bungie reportedly had as many as five or six games in active development at once, including Marathon and Destiny 2, but the majority of these projects are said to have collapsed in the wake of Sony's $3.6 billion acquisition of the studio. The report highlights the turbulence Bungie has faced since becoming part of PlayStation Studios, raising questions about the developer's internal capacity and creative direction under its new corporate owner.

Sony completed its purchase of Bungie in 2022 for $3.6 billion, with the studio expected to retain independence while supporting PlayStation's live-service ambitions. Since then, Bungie has continued developing Destiny 2 and launched the extraction shooter Marathon, but multiple other unnamed projects reportedly failed to progress, suggesting a period of significant internal upheaval and unrealised output despite the studio juggling several titles simultaneously.
