Two massive gaming powerhouse companies, Bungie and Activision, have decided to sign a 10 year agreement to begin making games together. Some people may get the idea that Activision is taking over the Halo franchise from Bungie, but this is NOT true according to Harold Ryan, President of Bungie.
“We chose to partner with Activision on our next IP (intellectual property) because of their global reach, multi-platform experience and marketing expertise,” said Ryan. “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.”
Activision will have exclusive, worldwide rights to publish and distribute all future Bungie games based on the new intellectual property on multiple platforms and devices. Bungie remains an independent company and will continue to own their intellectual property.
