Bungie will soon become part of the PlayStation family. Sony bought the studio for $ 3.6 billion, and there are only legal formalities left to complete the transaction. The announcement appeared, among others on Twitter.
Under the agreement between the parties, Bungie will continue to operate as a separate studio. The current management board of the studio, headed by President Pete Parsons, will not be changed. In addition, the company will remain free to publish its own games on the platforms it chooses.
The news of Sony’s latest acquisition appears shortly after Microsoft announced the purchase of Activision Blizzard. An interesting fact is that Bungie once worked closely with the creators of Xbox. It is in this studio that as many as five installments of the cult series of futuristic shooters – Halo were created . Bungie is currently focusing on further developing Destiny 2 . The newest expansion for this game, entitled The Witch Queen , will debut on February 22nd.
