The development company Bungie is best known for the online shooting game and live service Destiny 2. There are reports that they are working on a new FPS for mobile, possibly based within the same universe as Destiny 2. Among other reports are that the gaming studio has partnered with a Chinese mobile gaming giant, NetEase.
This is according to The Game Post; they became suspicious after seeing a LinkedIn post from an artist employed by NetEase and currently working with Bungie on the new mobile game. TGP also spoke to a source who knows NetEase’s upcoming plans, who confirmed that the mobile gaming company is working with Bungie on a new Destiny game for mobile. The source also confirmed that they’re already two years into the project.
NetEase is already well known and respected in China for its mobile games, so perhaps Bungie thought that a partnership with their vast experience in mobile game development would be very beneficial to ensure a quality mobile release for the Destiny franchise. NetEase might also benefit from working on a Western mobile title in an already popular series.
These aren’t only rumors based on one employee’s statement. It’s not exactly new news that Bungie wants to expand into mobile gaming. The Washington-based gaming company posted a job listing for just such a project. So far, it appears that this new mobile game will be an FPS based in the Destiny 2 universe and not a mobile adaptation of the title.
So far, Bungie hasn’t released any official information on the mobile game yet. However, following their recent legal battle with a Destiny 2 cheat distributor, we hope to receive some news on the potential mobile Destiny game soon.
