Destiny is a game that wants to be in control of its own.
Activision have pumped $500 million into it, and developers Bungie have talked of a 10 year plan to sustain and grow the series beyond this initial release. The game's destiny seems assured, it will be one of gaming's biggest series for years to come.
That is the hope, and it may yet be proven otherwise – it is of course the players who ultimately decide these things – but all the signs point toward enormous success for Bungie's follow-up to the Halo series.
Bungie - "Join our development team to see the new updates arriving with Destiny 2: The Final Shape. Releasing on June 4, 2024."
Amid ongoing anxiety within Bungie following layoffs last year, the studio is now preparing for another shakeup, this time on Marathon.
Talk about mismanaged Bungie is a studio of tremendous potential and have made some of the greatest shooters to date. Sony pushed them to just make another Destiny style game and consult on other studios live service games and are now getting thrown under a bus as the pivot away from predominantly gaas games is unfolding.
I'd love to see a world where Bungie can focus on telling great sci fi stories again away from a live service dungeon but we all know that's a pipe dream
This studio has had three owners and its never worked well with any of them....Management has issues
The legal battle for the acquisition of Activision Blizzard continues, with Microsoft countering one of the FTC's latest moves and the Judge delaying a relevant ruling.
Look, to be honest the FTC should just stop.
MS has A/B and nothing has really changed yet...if you are worried about 5-10 years from now...just drop it cause the future is unpredictable.
Take this week's news, that 4 Xbox exclusive are going Multiplatform.
I played the beta but still haven't got into the final version. Is it really a MMO? It didn't felt like that in the beta. The players that I could see on one map have been very limited and the beta was played by lot of gamers. Far away to call it massive.
