Bungie has announced that it has retaken full publication rights to the Destiny IP from Activision. The team made the announcement on the Bungie site starting with a bit of a rehash of the history between the two companies that started in 2010. While no date is set for the severance, Bungie indicated that the process will be completed "as seamlessly as possible". Read the full letter after the jump.

I mean...I get it since Destiny 2 probably didn't bring enough money to Activision for publishing it on BattleNet, but...I'm kinda surprised. Activision will only be publishing in-house stuff now, it seems.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What about our characters and progress?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yep it's definitely cause for concern.

Got the feeling they will have to do full transfers to whatever they do with the launcher. Most likely just a stand alone thing, at least hopefully.

Perhaps their former overlords at Microsoft, already in the process of purchasing studios, will view this as an opportunity to enrich their exclusives and make them an offer they can't refuse?
I want a mmorpg where people have gone through misery, have gone through school stuff and actually have had sex even. -sagil
I would say that our Gaming Year 2019 starts with a lot of "Boom-Boom".
Or am i wrong? And considering it is just 10 days old....what's next/coming on the Horizon?
Little scary or any good?

I think I would personally prefer the latter, as, despite my low opinion of Bethesda Game Studios as a developer, their parent company seems to be pretty hands-off and publishes solid games under ID Software and other studios. And Destiny is exactly the sort of IP that would fit into their portfolio.
Thats how it started with Enron and Goldman Sachs.
I don't think they can.
Good news for Bungie and not so good for Blizzard. Now they will have Activisions full attention. My days with WoW are already small and they are getting smaller at an accelerated rate.
I'm not an IT Specialist, Game Developer, or Clairvoyant in real life, but like others on here, I play one on the internet.
I'm not a fan of Activision like everyone else, but if you think that Activision was responsible for that miserable existence that we call Destiny 2 then I think you are wrong. I doubt Activision went and said hey just rename the game and let's do this.
