A New Era For Destiny Amid Studio Restructuring
工作室重组中的Destiny的新时代
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.
最近的一波裁员阴影笼罩了Destiny的未来，尤其是在第一大故事线——光与暗之战的结局（《命运2》的终极形态扩展包）于今年6月结束之后。
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.
这种不确定性进一步加剧了Bungie的命运，现在它是索尼集团（纽交所：SONY）旗下的工作室，将减少17%的员工，仅留下大约850名员工。预计将有额外的155名员工在未来几个月内从Bungie过渡到索尼互动娱乐。
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."
工作室负责人Pete Parsons谈到了裁员事件：“我意识到这些都是艰难的消息，特别是在我们看到《终极形态》的成功之后。但是，随着我们在过去一年中应对更广泛的经济现实，并耗尽了所有其他缓解选项，这已成为一项必要的决策，以更实际的目标和可行的财务重点重塑我们的工作室和业务。”
Bungie's Shift In Strategy
Bungie的策略转变
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.
在最近的裁员事件中，有一份彭博社报道透露了Bungie可能的方向，即将大型扩展改为较小的、可能是免费的《命运2》更新。报告引述了现任和前任Bungie员工的话，还透露了《命运3》的计划已被搁置，以及一个名为 Payback 的《命运》衍生项目在今年早些时候被取消。尽管存在这些变化，但Bungie的Marathon复兴开发据报道仍在进行中。
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.
报道援引现任和前任Bungie员工的话称，有关推出《命运2》后续作品《命运3》的计划已被搁置，同时，旗下项目《应得报复》也于今年早些时候被取消。尽管发生了这些变化，Bungie公司的《马拉松》复苏计划据报道仍在进行中。
