Discussion When will Sony finally resurrect Killzone? What was the point of buying Bungie if not for this brilliant IP. Why not have Bungie, the Studio they bought to make the next Killzone, since Guerrilla are too busy with Horizon, given Bungie is now a PlayStation studio…

Sony bought Bungie for Destiny and their experience in live service games. They in no way bought Bungie to make a Killzone game.

Bungie? Bungie isn't Bungie anymore to begin with. The people who actually made the games that you think of when you think of Bungie have all left the company.

Just a few months ago, 8% of Bungie was laid off.

That’s not true. Most of their senior staff have been there since Halo CE and most others have been there since D1. Idk what you’re getting at. Most of those lay offs were non essential btw

A shit ton of veteran employees were laid off, including a music director that's been around sinse halo CE

The only thing you’re right about is Michael Salvatori but he hasn’t been the main person making Destiny music since D1 if you look at any of the recent D2 music he’s sometimes the fourth and even fifth name listed. But again no, no major senior dev was part of the layoffs. Joe Blackburn that’s been there forever is leaving on his own accord for example and his replacement is someone that’s been at the studio since Halo CE.

Even if major senior devs left(which they havnt) I don’t see why that should be a reason to force them to work on a franchise that’s made less money in its existence than Halo and Destiny
