Destiny Studio also doubles the size of Bellevue HQ, adds two board members, plans multiple teams and new IP
Bungie today announced a series of expansion plans, including the establishment of its first international office.
The new office will open in Amsterdam next year and will house the studio’s publication and marketing department.
Bungie has been developing the side of its business since 2019, when it ended its partnership with Activision and took over the publishing and marketing for the Destiny franchise itself.
The company is also growing at home, as last month it began expanding its headquarters in Bellevue, Washington. The expansion will be completed in the fall of 2022, and will more than double the studio’s main operations from 84,000 square feet to 208,000 square feet.
The refurbished space will ‘support several project teams, including those outside the Destiny universe’. Bungie also said it is designed taking into account the expected mix of developers at work and on-site.
As for the push beyond the Destiny universe, Bungie plans to launch one new IP before 2025.
Finally, Bungie has added two new names – Trace Harris and Pamela Kaufman – to its board.
Harris was previously senior vice president of strategy, finance and business innovation for Vivendi, while Kaufman currently serves as ViacomCBS ‘president of global consumer products.
