With Destiny 2 and Marathon, Bungie has plenty on its plate as it is, but that’s not all the studio is working on. Job ads published by Bungie have indicated for a while now that it’s working on a new multiplayer IP, and new potential details on it may have emerged.
As per a report published by The Game Post, Bungie’s unannounced multiplayer IP will be a team-based PvP experience that will feature “many” elements from the MOBA genre. Interestingly, in a recent tweet, Bungie described one of its current incubation projects as “a team-based action game inspired by several genres in a brand-new, science-fantasy universe” that “draws inspiration from fighting games, platformers, MOBAs, life sims, and frog-type games, wrapped up in a lighthearted, comedic world.”
Characters will allegedly feature “colourful and cute” designs and will feature “an almost neon-like appearance”. That would align with previous job listings posted by Bungie, which have described the game as “something comedic with lighthearted and whimsical characters”.
The report also claims that the project is codenamed “Gummy Bears“. If a trademark filing from 2018 is anything to go by, the game’s final name might be Matter.
The game is allegedly “still in the early stages of development”. Earlier this year, Microsoft stated in court documents that Bungie’s Matter was expected to release sometime in 2025.
