Bungie sent out a major press release today discussing their future plans and it looks pretty exciting. "Bungie Prepares for Future Growth in 2021 with Studio Expansion, Key Talent Investments, and New Board Members" All the details can be found on their website, and the speculation and conversation can be found on our forum.
Bungie and Riot Games have teamed up to sue GatorCheats, an entity that develops cheating software for Destiny 2 and Valorant. Oof, they are bringing the heat too. Polygon has an article laying it all out, along with the filed legal documents. It's 24 pages long. Page 22 begins the damages Bungie and Riot are looking for and they aren't playing around. Want to discuss this? Swing by our forums and opine.
Today begins the second annual #Game2Give charity event in support of the Bungie Foundation and Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. They are kicking things off with a streaming marathon so stop by and help them reach their donation goals. You can see the streaming schedule, milestone rewards and donation incentives. CHECK IT OUT.
UPDATE: Bungie has reached their first milestone of $250K and released concept art for the Dawning Titan Universal Armor Ornament. The $500K milestone was also met, which gave us the Warlock Ornament.
UPDATE: The 750K milestone was reached so the Hunter armor was released.
UPDATE: The 1M milestone was reached and Bungie showed us an upcoming fusion rifle.
Wait, is the Season of Arrivals over already? Time sure flies, doesn't it?
Fortunately, Bungie has release a rather... "cool" look into the new ice abilities and content coming with their Beyond Light expansion. Tread carefully if you wish to avoid story spoilers and reveals, however, as this ViDoc will surely be on thin ice for those who prefer to stay dark for that kind of stuff. Oh, and speaking of Darkness, this ViDoc also contains insight into the Season of the Hunt, and the type of story exploration (and horde-style event) that we can expect from that.
Take a look, then feel free to discuss what makes Darkness dark on our forum!
Bungie is celebrating Bungie Day with details about the upcoming Moments of Triumph, launching later this month. Lots of goodies, both in-game and out, are or will soon be available - go read for more details! The Bungie Store has special items available (history suggests you should buy soon if you're interested), and the post also contains some great-looking Forsaken-themed wallpapers. Happy Bungie Day!
OS_Epsilon stopped by with a pretty amazing fan creation, in celebration of Bungie Day - it might need a little explanation. When the Music of the Spheres was written, accompanying poetry was commissioned from poet Malcolm Guite. Because of the issues with the release of MoTS over the years, this poetry was never released... until now. With narration by My Name is Byf and Moonvald, and some very nice visuals, you can enjoy the first of these poems on YouTube (or above, embedded). Malcolm Guite wrote up his own thoughts of this release (and some more details about the poetry itself) on his website. There's a 17mb booklet that goes along with this release, containing the first poem (The Moon) - we've made a local copy available so that you don't have to navigate MediaFire.
If you're going to be near San Francisco in March, put this on your calendar!
Urk has managed to process and post the latest Bungie podcast (on iTunes, or direct via Bungie RSS) before the Destiny 2 Beta begins tomorrow, so you can go listen to Luke Smith, Mark Noseworthy, Eric Osborne, and Robert Engeln discuss everything from carrying your friends to Chipotle meat goals. Great talk - find 45 minutes and listen! Thanks, electricpirate.
Luke Smith, Mark Noseworthy, and Eric Osborne gathered to discuss everything from PBJ fixings to the direction of the Destiny franchise - and you can listen via the latest Bungie Podcast. There's a discussion thread on our forum, as well.
Before the Destiny 2 fun begins, we're bringing the Bungie Podcast back to life to reacquaint you with the team - and their PBJ preferences. https://t.co/ltZpJh7EN8

It's been a while since we've seen a Bungie presentation from the GDC (David Candland's UI talk back in April of last year was our most recent one), but a new one has been uploaded to the GDC's Youtube page. In their own words:
"Bungie's Barry Genova explains how Bungie turned almost every part of Destiny's engine into a job graph, with only limited use of thread-based pre-emption."
Sounds like valuable insight into Destiny's engine and the testing that goes into it, especially for those who think that making a change to the game is as simple as "changing a few values", or "adding if/then scripts".
Thanks, INSANEdrive, for the heads up!
Edit: Pyromancy highlighted a previous GDC talk that is referenced in the above presentation, where former Bungie employee Natalya Tatarchuk discusses Destiny's Multithreaded Rendering Architecture, which has been reported on before in a different capacity. Lots of neat stuff to read and watch!
If you hadn't gotten a chance to see the discussion panel streamed last week on Bungie's Twitch channel (and archived there a day later) - maybe, say, because Twitch is blocked at work - you can watch it now, on YouTube (or embedded below). All of the streaming content is stored on this channel, eventually (including, for example, the Bungie Bounty event that took place this past Monday) - bookmark it, and check back each week for new goodies! Thanks, Korny.
One of the Bungie talks to be given at GDC this year is a look at the UI design of Destiny, presented by longtime UI guru Dave Candland. The preview vid released to promote this is really fun (and contains lots of tidbits showing the evolution of the interface, for folks who want to pore over details) - go give it a look! Thanks, breitzen.
Harold Ryan has stepped down as CEO of Bungie today, and Pete Parsons has been appointed as the new CEO. Pete issued a short statement about the change:
I want to personally thank Harold for his friendship, passion, hard work, and dedication in helping make Bungie the great company it is today. As a team, we celebrated many victories and weathered many storms.
To the players of Destiny, I want you to know that my number one priority, and Bungie’s, is and always has been to deliver great games that we can all share together. I believe that Destiny is a one-of-a-kind experience. I also believe you have yet to see our studio’s best work. My new role here at the studio will be entirely focused on fulfilling that promise.
Congratulations to Pete! No word if Harold will be staying with Bungie.
It's July 7th again, and Bungie is celebrating! For those that don't want to read the whole article:
How did you celebrate Bungie Day?
Playstation is kicking off a new series of interviews, called 'Conversations with Creators'. They look to be roundtable discussions with Wil Wheaton as the moderator. Episode 1 will feature Bungie, with Jason Jones, Luke Smith, Ryan Ellis, and Jason Sussman participating. It airs on July 7, and the official page has just a Wheaton-hosted promo... but Facebook has a 90-second excerpt from the interview itself - this looks to be fantastic!
First look at episode 1 of Conversations with Creators, featuring the Bungie team that created Destiny. Series premieres July 7th! bit.ly/1C9a14j
