Pete Parsons leaves Bungie and makes way for his successor

The current times are difficult for Bungie, who has to deal with the postponement of the game Marathon, which is quite expected by players, but also with Destiny 2 expansions that are selling less well than in the past. And this situation affects everyone at the studio, including the executives. Indeed, Pete Parsons, the CEO of Bungie, recently left his place to a new leader. 

Therefore, it should be noted that changes are often made when companies are not doing well. This can bring a breath of fresh air for staff, but also redefine certain objectives so that the future is better and more prolific. 

As for Bungie, Pete Parsons recently announced his departure on the official website. Indeed, he specifies the following in his statement: 

"After more than two decades of helping build this incredible studio, establishing the Bungie Foundation, and growing inspiring communities around our work, I have decided to pass the torch. This journey has been the honor of a lifetime. I am deeply proud of the worlds we’ve built together and the millions of players who call them home – and most of all I am privileged by the opportunity to work alongside the incredible minds at Bungie."

And now, Bungie's new CEO will be Justin Truman, who was the general manager and chief development officer of Destiny 2, as confirmed by Pete Parsons: 

"Today marks the right time for a new beginning. The future of Bungie will be in the hands of a new generation of leaders, and I am thrilled to announce that Justin Truman will be stepping into leadership as Bungie's new Studio Head.” 

Thus, faced with this change, Justin Truman wanted to reassure the community about Destiny 2 and Bungie’s next game, Marathon. Therefore, he says he's committed to working with every member of the team and that everyone is working on both games. In addition, he also specifies that new information will be unveiled during the end of the year 2025 on this subject. And it will be necessary to see if this will meet the expectations of fans and players.
