Breaking News: Bungie inks deal with Activision [Update]

So Bungie made this "Halo" game some time ago and it became popular. After spending eight or so years being owned by Microsoft they cut ties and are now free to make their own mistakes choices.

Activison Blizzard is one of the industry's mega corporations, recently infamous for their struggles with and eventual firing of Infinity Ward upper management and the mass exodus of employees there after.

Harold Ryan, President of Bungie tries to explain, "We chose to partner with Activision on our next IP because of their global reach, multi-platform experience and marketing expertise. From working together over the past nine months on this agreement, it is clear that Activision supports our commitment to giving our fans the best possible gaming experiences." - Yeah and taking your money.

"Our Constitution remains unchanged. We are still Bungie, still independent, and now we are free to bring our stories to an ever bigger audience," the statement continued. "Once the smoke clears, all the pieces will finally be in place for Step 7. Don’t worry, though. We won’t let World Domination go to our heads. We’re gonna keep making kick ass games on our own terms, and since you’ve been so supportive throughout the years, we’d love to bring you along for the ride."


[Update] It has been reported that Bungie's next project will be released for "every" console. We kinda saw that coming, didn't we?
