Earlier this year, Bungie launched Destiny 2: The Witch Queen, an expansion that included a new campaign and rewards. In our review, we called it the “best campaign” in Destiny to date, as it set up additional interesting dominoes to fall in the future of Destiny’s store.
Since the deal has passed regulatory review after first being announced in January 2022, Bungie is now part of PlayStation, having been acquired for $3.6 billion. Despite this, Bungie is remaining an independent publisher alongside PlayStation Studios, and Bungie’s future games will remain multiplatform, as will future all Destiny content.
Bungie will be aiding in live service support to the rest of PlayStation, providing advice and technical engineering for new online games across other teams at PlayStation.
