Bungie did not regain independence from Activision just to gain complete control of the Destiny franchise, but also to be free to pursue their own projects at liberty, without the influences of a major publisher.
What the house Bellevue is working on new games, it's not a secret at all. Two years ago, Bungie filed the Matter trademark, which, judging by some clues found on the net, appears to be a new live service game. In 2019 the company expressed its willingness to release at least one game other than Destiny by 2025. A job announcement this year also suggested the existence of a title in development called "lighthearted and whimsical".
As part of a recent interview with Metro, CEO Pete Parsons gave other important details about what's cooking in the company's offices. For starters, he confirmed that Bungie has been working on more than one game for at least three years now. "We started three years ago. Together with Jason Jones, Johnny Erbert and Zach Russell, we started hatching new projects." This happened in 2017, even before NetEase decided to invest over $ 100 million in Bungie. What Parsons described as an "incubation process" began with the assembly of several internal teams. These new projects look very promising, but while they are coming up very well, Bungie has already accounted for possible failure: "They are very promising - actually, ironically, we expect a high failure rate. On the other hand, we are many excited about the work we have done, which is not related to the continuation of the Destiny universe. Since we have been able to assemble a team with so many talents, these incubating products look truly fantastic. "
Parsons, unfortunately, has not provided concrete clues as to the nature of these new games, but he is sure the players will be amazed: "I think you will be very excited. I wish I could tell you more, but I am convinced that you will be excited quite a lot of" . Speaking of Destiny 2, the online shooter has just entered its fourth year of life welcoming the new expansion Beyond the Light and the new power of the Stasi.
