Bungie Subleases 210,000 Square Feet of Bellevue HQ Following Mass Layoffs

Bungie is putting 210,984 square feet of its Bellevue headquarters up for sublease through September 2035. The studio laid off 292 workers at this location in June, accounting for its third round of workforce reductions in three years. Between October 2023 and July 2024, the developer terminated approximately 320 employees, severely reducing a 2023 headcount that previously stood at 1,000 staff members. Unconfirmed sourcing suggests internal plans for "Destiny Infinity" and "Destiny 3" were scrapped as the studio shifts development focus toward Marathon. "Bungie is exploring options to sublease its campus in Bellevue, Washington. The studio transitioned to a digital-first model several years ago, and this move reflects the team’s evolving workplace needs and the effectiveness of its remote collaboration." — Bungie Spokesperson.
