New Bungie job listing suggests animated Destiny show in development

TLDR; if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it is a duck.

Bungie's media expansion isn't necessarily tied to the Sony acquisition as the studio was also spotted hiring personnel for the same move in September. The only difference is that the new owners probably want to speed things up along after seeing the success of Halo on Paramount+ - Paramount greenlit the second season of the live-action adaptation of Microsoft's marquee shooter way before the first season even dropped. Unfortunately, the current information on Bungie's plans suggests that everything is still in its very early stages, so we probably won't hear much of non-gaming Destiny media for a while.

The good news is that Destiny's innumerable ongoing narratives lend themselves to more expansions in other media. Of course, this is a double-edged sword as Bungie's fanbase isn't easy to please.

The best-case scenario is Bungie's animated show for Destiny is more like Netflix's Arcane series. Many consider the-award winning animated show one of the best gaming-related content to air on any streaming platform or cable television in a while.

Speaking of Sony, the tech giant isn't done working out acquisitions. Meanwhile, Bungie is already looking towards a future without Destiny. Another set of job listings suggests that Bungie is also working on an "esport ready" third-person competitive action game.
