Bungie teases new team-based sci-fi action project inspired by MOBAs, platformers and life sims
Bungie has teased one of its “incubation” projects, which is planned to be a team-based action game set in a sci-fi fantasy universe.
The Destination developer recently took to Twitter to announce that it is currently hiring “for something new” and will be hiring new team members to work on projects in the incubation process. Bungie explained that one of those incubation projects is “a team-based action game inspired by different genres in a brand new, science-fantasy universe.”
“It takes inspiration from fighting games, platformers, MOBAs, life sims and frog-like games, wrapped in a light-hearted, comedic world,” the developer added.
Incubation at Bungie is focused on developing inclusive worlds, which takes time and team members from diverse backgrounds, so we’re actively looking for completely remote positions! We are committed to a digital future with no return to office mandate.💙 https://t.co/kWSAW2Q58f pic.twitter.com/MB9GlXsBb9August 18, 2023
“The team designs for depth, mastery and Bungie’s signature action feel, as well as a friendly, inclusive community. We’re actively looking for people to join this project and other small project teams. So if you want to build a new type of Bungie game, do with us!”
Since this is an incubation project, it is not a fully realized game at this point and may still be able to be built and tested. The hiring post on Twitter also noted that Bungie is “committed to a digital-first future without a return to the office mandate,” giving recruits and current developers the ability to work remotely.
Lot 2 game director Joe Blackburn recently released an apology video following backlash from the latest State of the Game blog post. The post addressed the community’s complaints, with Bungie explaining that it couldn’t release more than one PvP map per calendar year due to a lack of resources.
Blackburn later released the video to apologize and admit that the post “didn’t meet our standards” for what players expect as communication. The director then promised a free PvP map pack next year that a dedicated team of developers will be working on.
In the meantime, Lot 2 players can currently look forward to the upcoming reveal of The final shapewhat the final DLC will be for The Light and Dark Saga.
