Bungie CEO Pete Parsons has announced that he\u2019s leaving the company one decade after taking on the role. In an update on<\/a> Thursday, Parsons wrote that he has \u201cdecided to pass the torch\u201d to longtime Bungie developer Justin Truman.<\/p>\n

Parsons has worked at Bungie for over 20 years and led the studio through the launch of Destiny 2<\/em> in 2017, along with the release of its major expansion pack, The Final Shape<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In 2022, Sony Interactive Entertainment purchased Bungie for $3.6 billion<\/a>. The studio has since contended with the layoffs<\/a> of hundreds of workers<\/a> and delayed its extraction shooter Marathon<\/em><\/a> following lackluster alpha test feedback. In May, an artist accused Bungie<\/a> of using their work in Marathon<\/em> without permission.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been through so much together: we launched a bold new chapter for Destiny, built an enviable, independent live ops organization capable of creating and publishing its own games, and joined the incredible family at Sony Interactive Entertainment,\u201d Parsons writes.<\/p>\n

Truman joined Bungie in 2010 and became chief development officer in 2022. He says the team is \u201ccurrently heads down\u201d on both Marathon <\/em>and Destiny<\/em>, adding that \u201cwe\u2019ll have more to show you in both of these worlds later this year.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
