Activision to transfer rights for Destiny to Bungie

Activision and Bungie have announced plans for Activision to transfer publishing rights for Destiny franchise to Bungie.

The planned transition process is already underway in its early stages, with Bungie and Activision saying they are both committed to making sure the handoff is as seamless as possible.

“Thank you so much for your continued support. Our success is owed in no small part to the incredible community of players who have graced our worlds with light and life. We know self-publishing won’t be easy; there’s still much for us to learn as we grow as an independent, global studio, but we see unbounded opportunities and potential in Destiny,” said Bungie.

Destiny began in 2014 and made $500 million on day one, and $325 million after five days. Destiny 2 followed in 2017, and was the biggest console launch of that year.
