Bungie bets everything on the MMO Destiny, no side projects

The developer studio Bungie is fully committed to the MMO shooter Destiny. They are in for ten years. They do not want to develop anything else alongside. Only then can they exceed themselves and create something great, said Jonty Barnes in an interview.

In an interview with totalxbox.com, the Director of Production at Bungie, Jonty Barnes, talks about the long-term plans for his studio. They can be summed up in one word: “Destiny.”

Barnes finds it hard to imagine that anything could distract from the focus on Destiny. They have clear plans for where they will take the game, and they have now laid the foundation for the universe.

Over the years as a studio manager, Barnes has learned that there is nothing better for a development team than to fully concentrate on a single ambitious project. Such a complex product requires the full attention of everyone. The more eyes are on a project, and the more experience is behind the decisions, the greater the chances of success.

Destiny is Bungie’s fate

When they took the step into independence, they were faced with the decision to either start multiple projects or go all in on one. They had enough resources for both options. In the current strategy of focusing only on one truly big project, they saw the greatest chance to create something significant and to surpass themselves: “For us, it’s all about Destiny.”

Moreover, the word “Destiny” in English not only refers to the name of the game but also means “destiny” or “fate.” At Bungie, they seem determined to take this name seriously. Very seriously.
