That 1 game has always been a massive hit and stays alive the whole generation. Also they stated they are moving to a multi project setup. They’re currently working on at least 3 projects.
Keep in mind they aren’t at the top of my list, just saying an acquisition does benefit Xbox and has payoff.
I legit havent seen anybody care about Bungie’s next project like at all. Literally not a soul.
Im sure it will get some “hype” off Bungie’s name but they havent been a premier “top” developer since the 360. You ask today what the best studios are And Im sure Bungie’s name wont come up. Also saying its the most anticipated new IP this gen after Starfield is just certainly a take worthy of Hindle lol.
Bungie would be an amazing acquisition. Whether you like Destiny or not, it was a massive undertaking and the raid (Vault of Glass) remains one of my favourite coop memories of last gen.
Unfortunately since they are self publishing, the content just isn’t as exciting due to how they have had to adapt the business model. They’d do much better being under XGS.
They are a top tier developer in terms of talent and would be a great addition to XGS.
Destiny has been one of the most successful new franchises of last gen. Played by millions, respected, yet they are not a top tier according to Javier lol.
Show me other games that manage multiplatform platforms where people create content and games and play across all devices together. Where people make a living in them. That’s not luck. Luck can propel success but it doesn’t give anyone that ability.
