Until recently, Bungie’s next game, Marathon, was slated to be released in September. But the game was delayed indefinitely in June amid reports that Bungie will lose its independence by fully integrating into PlayStation Studios. Now, Bungie’s CEO Pete Parsons has announced his departure from the studio after over two decades.
Parsons joined Bungie in 2002 and served as COO before being promoted to CEO in early 2016. In a statement shared on Bungie’s official site, Bungie called his stint on top of the company „the honor of a lifetime“ and added that he is „deeply proud of the worlds we’ve built together and the millions of players who call them home.“
Before closing his statement, Parsons announced that Chief Development Officer Justin Truman will be the new head of Bungie. He also endorsed Truman as his successor.
