Following layoffs at Bungie that affected more than 220 people, more details about what the Sony-owned developer has been up to have emerged, including more information about a canceled Destiny spinoff called project Payback that would have taken the franchise in a much different direction.
According to a report from Bloomberg, Payback would have been played from a third-person perspective, a departure from the first-person perspective used in Destiny. It was said to have taken inspiration from popular free-to-play third-person games like Warframe and Genshin Impact and would have allowed players to explore a large open world while cooperatively battling enemies and solving puzzles.
Payback was canceled two months ago, according to the report, and the majority of Bungie is now working on Marathon, a reboot of an old Bungie IP from the 90s reimagined as an extraction shooter. The Marathon reboot was officially announced last year and is now said to be aiming for a 2025 release. As noted by Bloomberg, Payback was not Destiny 3, which has never been in development.
