Destiny mobile game in development at Bungie and NetEase
Fancy a Destiny on mobile? Your wish may soon come true as Bungie is currently working on a mobile FPS in collaboration with the studio NetEase. Let's find out what's in store for the first mobile game in the Destiny license and the history of the studio behind the Halo license.
Bungie, the eventful history of a talented studio
Before we talk about a possible Destiny on mobile, let's go back to the studio's history. As a reminder, although Bungie is recently known for the Destiny franchise, the studio became a reference thanks to the Halo series. Initially independent, Bungie was in turn bought by Microsoft, then by Activision Blizzard, before becoming independent again, while keeping the rights to its licences.
At the beginning of 2022, Sony Interactive Entertainment paid 3.6 billion dollars to acquire the studio. However, Bungie retains total freedom of creation, but also of publication. Beyond these acquisitions, it is an investment dating from 2018 that interests us today. Indeed, a few years ago, NetEase became a minority shareholder of Bungie by injecting $100 million.
The first FPS from the Destiny license on mobile
At the time of this investment from one of the giants of mobile gaming, Bungie CEO Pete Parsons expressed the studio's desire to explore new directions and build new worlds. Regarding new worlds, we know that Bungie is working on a new PvP-oriented license. As for new directions, we've just learned via the LinkedIn profile of a NetEase employee that a yet-to-be-announced Destiny mobile FPS is in development.
According to The Game Post, this Destiny mobile game would not be a simple port, but a brand new adventure. Moreover, it seems that Bungie is taking the opportunity to present its new mobile game engine, which it has been working on for the past two years.
That's it for information about the first game in the Destiny franchise on mobile. While the current success of mobile FPS's is no longer in question, the game will have some competition. The studio will need to deliver a quality experience if it is to succeed between established titles such as COD Mobile, PUBG Mobile and Apex Legends Mobilebut also upcoming games such as Battlefield Mobile or Rainbow Six Mobile.
