Bungie now has a new CEO

Earlier this month during Sony's most recent earnings meeting, executives made comments alluding to Bungie losing its independence and becoming more integrated with PlayStation Studios. Now just weeks later, Bungie's long-time CEO, Pete Parsons, has announced that he is leaving the company. 

Pete Parsons first became CEO of Bungie in 2016 and was one of the few to remain at Bungie long after the glory days of Halo. Parsons came under fire over the past year after Bungie suffered from multiple rounds of layoffs.

In a blog post announcing the change, Bungie confirmed that Justin Truman will now be acting as CEO of Bungie. Truman is slightly newer at Bungie, having joined the company in 2010, working on Halo Reach, before moving on to Bungie's current flagship IP, Destiny.

As CEO, Truman will now oversee Bungie's upcoming Marathon launch, and future development on the Destiny IP.

KitGuru Says: It became quite clear over the past year that Bungie needed some changes at the top. Sony in particular needs this acquisition to work out to strengthen its position in the modern landscape of multiplayer gaming.
