Since the evaluation, Bungie has undergone significant changes on the business front. The studio is no longer independent, as Sony successfully acquired it for approximately $3.6 billion in July 2022, joining the ranks of Sony’s first-party studios, which include Sucker Punch and Insomniac. It remains to be seen if the projected 2025 release window mentioned in the 2021 evaluation still holds true or if the launch of Bungie’s third IP might be further delayed.
As fans eagerly anticipate more information about Matter, they can only speculate about its potential release date and what innovative experiences Bungie has in store for them.
