Bungie studio head reportedly leaving after nearly 17 years

Bungie studio head Justin Truman is reportedly leaving the company after nearly 17 years in various roles, including Destiny 2 design director and general manager. Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier posted on Bluesky that "people familiar with the situation" say Truman is stepping down as studio lead after, according to his LinkedIn, 11 months.

He had taken the post from former lead Pete Parsons, whom ex-writer Robert Brookes earlier credited as "the real Destiny killer." Requests for comment to Bungie did not receive an immediate response. The studio has announced major layoffs, saying on Bluesky that "Destiny 2 fell short of expectations" and "we unfortunately could not continue operating at our previous size." Bungie says it has "future projects still in early incubation," but Destiny 2 received its final live-service content update earlier this month.
