Destiny 2 News

This week at Bungie, we think it’s time we talk about Iron Banner, check out the new PvP Map, and show introduce the Cosplay Cosmodrome. Trust us, it’s really cool.

Lord Saladin continues to show why he has the mettle to inspire the likes of people like Zavala. His inner strength has once more become a vital part of the evolving Destiny 2 narrative, and the team thought that it was high time that his Iron Banner event reflected his resurgence in the story. That, and Rift is back, baby, alongside a brand-new map! We also have a nifty new initiative we’re calling Cosplay Cosmodrome, and an update from our specialist team that has been digging deep into the perplexing world of... emails.

While Sony is claiming that it won't make Bungie games exclusive to its consoles, it's still getting investigated by the US Federal Trade Commission.

Sony announced it would be buying Bungie for a whopping sum of $3.6 billion earlier this year, which has obviously drawn the attention of the FTC. According to The Information (paywalled, via PC Gamer), the FTC has launched an "in-depth investigation" of the deal. The report states that the investigation started towards the end of April, and it's supposedly focused on the fact that Sony might make Bungie games, such as the Destiny series, exclusive to PlayStation consoles.

Bungie did state that it would be business as normal for the studio, with no plans to not release its game on other platforms aside from PlayStation. However, the FTC isn't entirely confident of this, leading the organisation to question Sony and Bungie to understand whether Sony has an incentive to withhold some or all of Bungie's games from other platforms. Because of this investigation, the deal could see at least a delay of six months.

Before we get into it, we wanted to take a moment to reiterate talk about the commitment we made as a company earlier this week in response to the leaked draft decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade. Standing up for reproductive choice and liberty is not a difficult decision to make, and we remain dedicated to upholding these values. You can read our full statement here.

This week at Bungie, the third annual Guardian Games have begun.
