Sony Interactive Entertainment
completed its acquisition of
Destiny developer Bungie in July 2022. Bungie at the time stated it would "continue to independently publish and creatively develop" their games with its own board of directors.
Bungie could be under threat at losing its independence, according to multiple sources who spoke with
IGN.
The sources claim they were told by leaders that the current split board structure could be dissolved by Sony if Bungie fails to meet certain financial thresholds by too great an amount. Sony would then be able to take full control of the developer.
