No, Bungie and Activision unlike the title so clearly stated, are not creating a Guitar Hero with Master Chief in it…yet. They have officially announced today though that the two are partnering to bring out Bungie’s new super awesome action game, and the partnership is to last a staggering 10 years.
“We chose to partner with Activision on our next IP because of their global reach, multi-platform experience and marketing expertise,” said Harold Ryan, President of Bungie. “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.”
“Bungie is one of the premier studios in our industry and we are extremely pleased to have the opportunity to work with their talented team over the next decade,” stated Thomas Tippl, Chief Operating Officer of Activision Blizzard. “Bungie has developed some of the most compelling and successful games, multiplayer experiences and thriving fan communities, and this alliance underscores our long-standing commitment to foster the industry’s best creative talent. Our unprecedented partnership with Bungie will enable us to broaden our pipeline of exciting new games as we continue to strengthen our industry position and pursue long-term growth opportunities.”
These are two of the biggest developers in the scene right now, both selling a tremendous amount of games, and I can honestly see nothing going wrong in this partnership. Plus I’m super, super stoked to see what kind of game comes out from the two since both are working on it.
I mean worst-case scenario: we have to pay for extra songs in the game, so it can’t be too bad.
