Bungie, the developer behind the popular looter-shooter, Destiny and recently revealed Marathon, is working on its third game, codenamed "Gummy Bears," sources have told The Game Post.

According to multiple sources with knowledge of Bungie's plans, Gummy Bears is the new game from the Destiny developer that incorporates many elements from the MOBA game genre (Massive Online Battle Arena), featuring a competitive PvP Team vs.Team experience.

Sounds kinda wild.

 

[StueyDuck]

Moba.... how............... retro...

Gotta be that matter game with China

Almost definitely mobile

 

[Wildebeest]

There might not be a new market for a new MOBA, but they still sell skins like crazy, and greed is a thing.

[Spyxos]

Interesting, the Moba hype is long gone. Unless it was in development forever.

 

[havoc00]

Will this be a sony GAAS exclusive?

 

[Elder Legend]

Lol bungie went from making cool FPS games to some MOBA trash? Depressing.

 

[Elder Legend]

Will this be a sony GAAS exclusive?

Making a MOBA platform exclusive would be a terrible idea. MOBAs are really only popular on PCs. If it's a GAAS it needs to come to all platformers if they even want it to survive let alone be profitable.

GAAS titles rely on longevity and players support. If a GAAS game has no players, then it's done. So you need as many platforms as possible.

There are way too many examples of why this is nonsensical.

That aside, your argument remains invalid because bungie committed to all platforms. Something they again reiterated when signed the SIE contract to become a Sony owned studio.

 

[LordCBH]

Sounds like their rumored mobile game.

Just as nonsensical as your stupid Starifeld has no marketing posts and that Starfield is delayed concern threads where you can't even count properly and do basic math.

Also, I am well aware that Bungie is releasing games to other platforms besides PS5. I was simply making a general statement in regards to GaaS games and what they need to do to survive. You forgot who you are talking to, I work with Sony and many other publisjers anytime their is a big release around the corner and I've been in this industry for 10 years. I know what I am talking about lil Timmy

On the ignore list you go my friend.

At first I confused about your concern over my starfield posts. But the bolded...

We could use a new MOBA, the genre has become pretty stale as of late with the same games being on top

 

[Black_Stride]

Why are people harping on the MOBA inspiration when they say they are taking inspo from many genres.

"It draws inspiration from fighting games, platformers, MOBAs, life sims, and frog-type games, wrapped up in a lighthearted, comedic world."

Why not harp on the frog-type game or that its a platformer?

I never heard of the term "frog type games" what does that even mean? Lol.

 

[TransTrender]

Goddamnit
Just make a real Marathon trilogy

It's amazing how far Bungie has fallen.

 

[Hudo]

wake me when they make proper singleplayer content again (I'll probably remain sleeping for forever, I guess).

 

[tmlDan]

It's amazing how far Bungie has fallen.

Did people say Valve have fallen cause they made Dota2? Or is it continually one of the most played steam games over the last decade

 

[Kurotri]

the hell is a frog-type game?

 

[RagnarokIV]

The MOBA train left the station a decade ago. What an embarrasing studio (if this is true).

 

[Black_Stride]

No way you guys havent heard of Frogger and all its clones before.

 

[ManaByte]

 

[RagnarokIV]

They've become such a joke, I wouldn't be suprised if it's a AAA Crossy Road.

 

[coffinbirth]

 

[Muffdraul]

Piss off, Bungie. I'm not touching any of your crap again until you do a new killer story campaign that can be played solo.

 

[Unknown?]

I never heard of the term "frog type games" what does that even mean? Lol.

Frogger, obviously.

 

[Holammer]

My brain would be fk'n blown if it was a licensed Disney title. Admittedly a weird fit for a MOBA, but Bungie would never be that cool.
Man, that intro activates all sorts of neurons in my brains. Disney always nailed the dubbed theme song in other languages.

 

[Kurotri]

ahh

 

[YuLY]

I guess Halo Reach will keep being the last game I played from this studio.

[Topher]

You forgot who you are talking to,

 

[DGrayson]

MOBA + life sim sounds INCREDIBLE

 

[DemonGamerTTT]

Moba in 2023.

Oh nononono.

 

[ArtHands]

Shaping up to be a crap game.

 

[existensmaximum]

 

[hlm666]

I'm sure this wont end up on the trash pile with paragon, heroes of the storm, paladins, bleeding edge and all the other shit I can't remember the names of. The only real question is if overwatch manages to beat them to irrelevance or not.

 

[Robb]

Meh, more multiplayer stuff.

 

[lh032]

if this succeed, another $ for Sony.

 

[StealthGoblin]

Meh, more multiplayer stuff.

That’s what Bungie will be doing. From Destiny onwards they’ll be doing MP games.

 

[Robb]

Yeah you’re probably right. That’s why Sony bought them.

But one can dream.

 

[StealthGoblin]

I wish Sony would allow their other studios to do some weirder, smaller games.

 

[Ar¢tos]

I wish Sony would allow their other studios to do some weirder, smaller games.

Those times are gone, now it's either emotional walking simulator SP game or MP GAAS games.
PixelOpus got the boot in the ass, London has moved to GAAS, MM is probably moving to GAAS (or getting closed down after the next game), Housemarque can easily add MTX to the games they make, etc.
It's the future of gaming...

Bungie + MOBA + "gummy bear".

Man, it's hard to imagine a less exciting combination of factors.
