Det dröjde inte länge efter Microsofts bomb, där de tillkännagav att de tänkte köpa upp hela Activision Blizzard, innan Sony nu kontrar med att köpa upp Bungie.
Bungie är kanske mest kända för sina Destiny och Halo-spel, där inte minst Halo användes för att en gång lansera och sälja in konkurrenten Xbox en himla massa år sedan (2001). Det borde därför svida lite extra att det just är Bungie som blir nästa bolag att knytas till motståndarsidan.
Spelvärlden krymper och speljättarna blir allt större.
“I am absolutely thrilled to announce a new member will be joining the PlayStation family!
– Hermen Hulst, Head of PlayStation Studios
I’ve been a fan of Bungie for many years. I have admired and enjoyed the games that they create – and have great respect for their skill in building worlds that gamers want to explore again and again.
Bungie makes games with outstanding technology that are enormously fun to play. They also have unmatched dedication to the communities that play their games, and everyone at PlayStation, and PlayStation Studios, will be excited about what we can share and learn from them.
I have spent a great deal of time with the senior team at Bungie and it is clear their experience and skills are highly complementary to our own.We will be ready to welcome and support Bungie as they continue to grow, and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for this incredible team.“
