Joe Blackburn, the director of Destiny 2, will be leaving his position in the near future. In a Twitter post, the developer announced that he is parting ways with Bungie, and Tyson Green will be stepping into his role next month.

He has been involved in every subsequent installment of the series developed by the studio.

On the other hand, Blackburn joined Bungie as a raid designer in 2015. Four years later, he was promoted to lead creative, and subsequently left the company to join Riot Games, the creators of League of Legends, as a lead designer in 2019. He returned to Bungie as the director of Destiny 2 in 2020. It is still unknown where Blackburn will be heading next.

Being deeply involved with the Guardians before joining Bungie and being part of the Destiny 2 team has been the highlight of Blackburn’s life, he wrote. He will always remain a loyal fan of Bungie and believes in what the teams within their walls are capable of achieving.

“I still have some time before handing over the torch, but as I wait for a longer break from social media, I know I’ll still be encountering all of you. It’ll be great to play Destiny together with all of you.”

In conclusion, Joe Blackburn is stepping down as the director of Destiny 2, and Tyson Green will be taking his place. Blackburn rejoined Bungie in 2020 after a previous affiliation with the company. Blackburn’s future plans are unknown, but his experience with Destiny 2 has been incredibly valuable and fulfilling for him. His departure leaves a certain void in the Bungie team, but everyone believes that the company is capable of continuing the development and improvement of the game. The future of Destiny 2 remains promising.
