“#Take That Microsoft, Sony Is Buying Bungie”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Microsoft and Sony seem to be on a purchasing spree, and Sony is set to add Destiny 2<\/em> developers Bungie to its crew. Sony will spend a whopping\u00a0$3.6 billion to bring Bungie to its collection of first-party developers.<\/p>\n

This comes hot on the heels of Microsoft announcing that it has purchased Activision Blizzard for the tidy sum of\u00a0$68.7 billion. While Bungie\u2019s catalog might be substantially smaller than that of\u00a0Activision Blizzard, the company still makes Destiny, a successful multiplatform franchise that\u2019s been around since\u00a02014 (Destiny 2<\/em> since 2017).<\/p>\n

The second sentence of Sony\u2019s announcement<\/a> answers one of the biggest questions game<\/a>rs will have, and that\u2019s whether they\u2019ll still be able to play Destiny on Xbox and PC. \u201cFirst off, I want to be very clear to the community that Bungie will remain an independent and multiplatform studio and publisher,\u201d said\u00a0Jim Ryan, President & CEO, Sony Interactive Entertainment.<\/p>\n

Bungie also made it clear that it would keep making games for all platforms in an FAQ<\/a>. \u201cNo. We want the worlds we are creating to extend to anywhere people play games. We will continue to be self-published, creatively independent, and we will continue to drive one, unified Bungie community,\u201d said Bungie.<\/p>\n

It sounds like Sony might look to Bungie for more than just Destiny, as well. Ryan continues, \u201cBungie\u2019s\u00a0world-class expertise in multiplatform development and live game services will help us deliver on our vision of expanding PlayStation to hundreds of millions of gamers. Bungie is a great innovator and has developed incredible proprietary tools that will help PlayStation Studios achieve new heights under Hermen Hulst\u2019s leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n

That sounds like the technology<\/a> Bungie created to bring the persistent world of Destiny 2 to life might see some use in PlayStation\u2019s other games.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Bungie is responsible for Microsoft\u2019s first big success on Xbox, Halo<\/em>. Bungie then went to work with Activision before going independent. Now, the firm has made a 180-degree turn, going to Sony.<\/p>\n
