Bungie posts Destiny 2 UX contract role after major layoffs
The listing, for a contract Senior UX Designer, describes designing player interactions within Destiny 2, as Bungie outlines plans to unvault old content.
Bungie has posted a job opening for a contract Senior UX Designer role titled Interaction Designer, focused specifically on Destiny 2, according to gamerant.com. It is the studio's first hiring sign since a major round of layoffs.
The listing states that the role is aimed at designing player interactions within Destiny 2.
The posting follows a blog post on the future of Bungie from studio head Poria Torkan and head of product Josh Deane. In it, the studio said it plans to unvault all Destiny 2 content for free, including the Red War campaign, Curse of Osiris, Warmind and locations such as Io and Titan, and that the process will take a long time.
In June, Destiny 2 was set to end all support and live-service updates after the final Monument of Triumph update. Bungie also went through a massive round of layoffs that cut around 400 positions across Bungie, Sony or contractor jobs.
Destiny plans beyond the live game
Last week, Bungie officially teased a Destiny 1 remaster that includes a PC port, with Deane commenting on it on Twitter. A fan petition for Destiny 3 has gathered over 410,000 signatures, though neither Bungie nor Sony has committed to a sequel. After the Monument of Triumph release, Destiny 2 received a new official patch intended to make persistent issues easier for Bungie to fix.
