Joseph Staten, who had been with Bungie for 15 years, announced his departure from the company in a goodbye poston its website.
After fifteen great years at Bungie, from the battlefields ofMythto the mysteries ofHaloand beyond, I’m leaving to tackle new creative challenges. While this may come as a surprise, fear not. It’s been my pleasure buildingDestinythese past four years, and after the big reveal this Summer, our hugely talented team is on track for greatness. I’ll be cheering all of them, with all of you, when the game launches next year. Thank you for your support of me, and your continued support of Bungie. We couldn’t have done it without you.
