The success of the MMO shooter Destiny is now receiving congratulations from what is likely the next big franchise – and a challenge.
Activision proudly announced yesterday that it has launched the most successful new franchise in video game history with Destiny. Games worth 500 million US dollars would have already gone on sale on the first day. With Destiny, they are confident that they have launched another billion-dollar franchise and will benefit from it for years to come.
At Gamescom in Cologne, the game “Evolve,” an asymmetrical shooter, made waves. A team of 4 hunters takes on a constantly evolving monster. Many experts attributed immense potential to the game there. And so they are now considering chances to become the next “big thing” in the concert of top games.
And so Evolve proves confidence and humor by making its claims known. With a pic on Twitter and Facebook, they congratulated Bungie on their success and stated that they would definitely take on the role of the hunter. In this case, “hunter” refers both to one of the potential classes in Destiny and, of course, to the role of a pursuer. With Evolve, they want to challenge Destiny for the record of the best launch of a new franchise.
