Bungie president Harold Ryan is to step down after 16 years in charge.

A blog post from the developer also announced that the studio’s Board of Directors has appointed Pete Parsons to the role of chief executive officer. Parsons will be “tasked with leading the talented Bungie team as they continue to develop great Destiny experiences”.

“I want to personally thank Harold for his friendship, passion, hard work, and dedication in helping make Bungie the great company it is today. As a team, we celebrated many victories and weathered many storms,” said Parsons.

He added: “To the players of Destiny, I want you to know that my number one priority, and Bungie’s, is and always has been to deliver great games that we can all share together. I believe that Destiny is a one-of-a-kind experience. I also believe you have yet to see our studio’s best work. My new role here at the studio will be entirely focused on fulfilling that promise.”
