It didn't take long for Sony to put its billions to work. Bungie is currently working on multiple titles for its new owners. But, while most know Bungie for their darker, more mature stories, typically involving a universe-ending tale, an upcoming project will be more "lighthearted and whimsical". More importantly, this new game will be a live-service title using Unreal Engine 5.
spotted the new job ad detailing Bungie hiring an "incubation gameplay engineering lead", which reads:
As a Lead Gameplay Engineer at Bungie, you will build the gameplay architecture and systems that make the game feel amazing – the nexus of animation, gameplay, and networking - using a wide range of technologies. Most importantly, you will work with a fun, dedicated, and passionate cross-discipline team devoted to making a new franchise at Bungie.
Bungie hasn't released a new game since Destiny 2, which came out 6 years ago. It's unclear what Bungie has been working on in the interim but it's safe to say that it could've spent the majority of its resources supporting the live-service shooter as it conceptualizes new games.
