Longtime Bungie head Pete Parsons steps down
Pete Parsons, the longtime CEO of game developer Bungie, has announced his departure from the company after over 20 years of service. Parsons will be succeeded by Justin Truman, a longtime Bungie developer who became the studio's chief development officer in 2022. During Parsons' tenure, Bungie launched Destiny 2 in 2017 and its major expansion, The Final Shape. In 2022, Sony Interactive Entertainment acquired Bungie for $3.6 billion. However, the studio has faced challenges, including the layoffs of hundreds of workers and the delayed release of their extraction shooter, Marathon, following a lackluster alpha test. Truman, who joined Bungie in 2010, has expressed a commitment to continue work on both Marathon and Destiny, stating that the team is "currently heads down" on these projects and promising to share more details later this year.
