A New Era For Destiny Amid Studio Restructuring
工作室重組中的Destiny的新時代
The recent wave of layoffs has cast a shadow of doubt over the future of Destiny, especially following the conclusion of the first major storyline, The Light and Darkness Saga, which culminated in Destiny 2's The Final Shape expansion this past June.
最近的一波裁員陰影籠罩了Destiny的未來，尤其是在第一大故事線——光與暗之戰的結局（《命運2》的終極形態擴展包）於今年6月結束之後。
This uncertainty was further compounded by the announcement that Bungie, now a Sony Group Corp. (NYSE:SONY)-owned studio, would be reducing its workforce by 17%, leaving the developer with approximately 850 employees. An additional 155 workers are expected to transition from Bungie to Sony Interactive Entertainment in the coming months.
這種不確定性進一步加劇了Bungie的命運，現在它是索尼集團（紐交所：SONY）旗下的工作室，將減少17%的員工，僅留下大約850名員工。預計將有額外的155名員工在未來幾個月內從Bungie過渡到索尼互動娛樂。
Studio head Pete Parsons addressed the layoffs: "I realize all of this is hard news, especially following the success we have seen with The Final Shape. But as we've navigated the broader economic realities over the last year, and after exhausting all other mitigation options, this has become a necessary decision to refocus our studio and our business with more realistic goals and viable financials."
工作室負責人Pete Parsons談到了裁員事件：「我意識到這些都是艱難的消息，特別是在我們看到《終極形態》的成功之後。但是，隨着我們在過去一年中應對更廣泛的經濟現實，並耗盡了所有其他緩解選項，這已成爲一項必要的決策，以更實際的目標和可行的財務重點重塑我們的工作室和業務。」
Bungie's Shift In Strategy
Bungie的策略轉變
In the wake of the layoffs, a Bloomberg report surfaced, detailing Bungie's potential shift away from large expansions in favor of smaller, possibly free updates for Destiny 2.
在最近的裁員事件中，有一份彭博社報道透露了Bungie可能的方向，即將大型擴展改爲較小的、可能是免費的《命運2》更新。報告引述了現任和前任Bungie員工的話，還透露了《命運3》的計劃已被擱置，以及一個名爲 Payback 的《命運》衍生項目在今年早些時候被取消。儘管存在這些變化，但Bungie的Marathon復興開發據報道仍在進行中。
The report, citing current and former Bungie employees, also revealed plans for a Destiny 3 have been shelved, and a Destiny spinoff project known as Payback was canceled earlier this year. Despite these changes, development on Bungie's Marathon revival is reportedly still ongoing.
報道援引現任和前任Bungie員工的話稱，有關推出《命運2》後續作品《命運3》的計劃已被擱置，同時，旗下項目《應得報復》也於今年早些時候被取消。儘管發生了這些變化，Bungie公司的《馬拉松》復甦計劃據報道仍在進行中。
