Today I’m glad to announce that Bungie will join the PlayStation family.
First, I want to make it very clear to the community that Bungi will be an independent and multi-platform studio and publisher. As such, we believe it makes sense to sit next to the PlayStation Studio company, and we are incredibly excited about the opportunities for coordination and collaboration between these two world-class groups. I spent a lot of time building the right relationship with Pete Person, Jason Jones and the Bungee Management team where they will be fully supported and supported by Sony Interactive Entertainment and will be able to do what they can – create an incredible world that fascinates millions. .
Bungie’s world-class expertise in multi-platform development and live game services will help us provide our vision of PlayStation expansion to millions of gamers. Bungie is a great innovator and has created incredible proprietary tools that will help PlayStation Studios reach new heights under the leadership of Herman Halst.
Here are some of Herman’s words about this exciting acquisition and what it means for gamers.
Here are some words from Pete Parsons, CEO of Bungie.
“We believe that games have infinite potential and in order to be successful in entertainment, we must bet on our vision, our studio and the incredible team of our trusted creators who create an unforgettable world that is really important to people.
At Sony, we’ve found a partner who unconditionally supports us in everything we do and who seeks to accelerate our vision of creating generation-wide entertainment, all of which preserve the creative freedom that throbs Bungi’s heart. Like us, Sony believes that the world of games is just the beginning of what our IPs can be Together, we share a dream of creating and nurturing an iconic franchise that brings together fans from around the world, across families of generations, and across multiple platforms and entertainment media.
Today, Bungie embarks on our journey to become a global multi-media entertainment company.
Creative freedom
“Since taking flight in 1991, Bungie has always charted the future with its own star map – a path that is driven by our people and our communities. We continue that journey with the new world of development, and we can’t wait to share them with you.
With Sony, the potential of our universe is limitless. Our future games will take bold steps into undiscovered spaces for Bungie, which will continue to push its boundaries as much as possible and will always be built on meaningful, lifelong friendships and memories.
We are Responsible for our fate. We will continue to publish our games independently and develop creatively. We will continue to drive the one, unified Bangi community. Our games will continue wherever our community is, wherever they want to play
With Sony’s help, the most immediate change you’ll see is an acceleration of talent recruitment throughout the studio to support our ambitious vision. If it speaks to you, and you want to help us make a hole in the universe, We are hiring Destiny 2 and beyond covers all branches for the new world.
Three decades and counting
“What makes our world come alive is our community and our people in the studio. Our people are the soul of Bungie. Empowered by our people, we have pushed the boundaries of what we thought and transformed who we are as a company.
Over the past 30 years, the inviting world we have created has grown into a thriving community, and that community is truly magical. These communities have taken Bangi out of the game. They have built lifelong bonds, and have humbled us with the real, meaningful good that drives us and the world.
More than anything, Sony understands that both our people and our community are priorities, and the focus of our success, and we are willing to stand by our side as we continue to work towards a more welcoming and equitable world using our platform. Our goal is to create a place where the most creative and talented people in the world can come and do their best, who they are, where they come from, or how they can be identified.
This is the real destination of the universe that we want to create – that we want to surpass.
Be a part of this future with us. See you at Starside.“
– Pete
