Source: @MPFirst This comes after Marathon not being the hit Sony wanted it to be, and Bungie facing major staff reductions. Ever since the acquisition, the studio failed to make anything that justifies the $4.7B Sony paid to acquire them. Right now, they’re trying to win back players, as they initially announced not wanting to support Destiny 2 any further, a decision that they overturned afterwards.

Bungie's head of product, Josh Deane, has caught Destiny fans' attention after sharing a video of Destiny 1 running on PC at 4K and over 60 FPS. The video shows a fan-made project running the original game with a wider field of view and mostly working gameplay. Deane shared the video with "Seems like a pretty game, wonder if it will do well." Fans are wondering if this could mean something for Destiny 1's future. The project aims to make the original Destiny playable again by recreating the server functionality the game needs

Bungie’s new leadership is trying to rebuild trust with players after recent layoffs and Marathon’s problems Studio head Poria Torkan and head of product Josh Deane admitted Bungie needs to make clearer decisions, deliver on its promises and communicate more honestly. “We have to focus on the things you want to see from us.” The leaders also asked players to “keep us accountable” as they work on the studio’s future. Bungie’s plans include bringing back content removed from Destiny 2, improving Marathon and being more transparent about development. The studio says it wants to “build a stronger long-term future for Destiny, while honoring and restoring its past.” And once again, the chuds win. I’m not sure what the future holds for Marathon.

Bungie has shared an update on the future of Destiny and Marathon and knows it has much work to do to win players back. The plan includes returning vaulted Destiny 2 content such as old campaigns, destinations, and raids. This will not happen overnight, as the content needs technical updates first. Destiny remains a major part of its plans, with the October Nightfall Refresh and December Symbiosis update incoming. Bungie wants to expand Marathon beyond its original extraction-shooter formula with more modes, including PvE, PvP, and PvPvE. The studio understands player frustration and must prove change through the games themselves. “We are not done with Destiny.”
