A supposedly cancelled Bungie project is said to be alive and well, but Sony has taken direct control of it. Destiny 2 developer Bungie underwent some significant changes following the launch of The Final Shape expansion last year, with around 17% of the studio being laid off.

Bungie also announced 12% of the workforce would be integrated into Sony Interactive Entertainment, with plans to form a new team within PlayStation Studios to continue work on one of Bungie’s ‘incubation projects’. A new report claims this incubation project is the multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) Gummy Bears, which may come as a surprise since a separate report from March claimed it had been cancelled.

Details on Gummy Bears first cropped up in 2023, courtesy of The Game Post, which said the project was still in the early stages and featured colourful and cute characters, making it a far cry from anything Bungie has previously made. For the record, Gummy Bears is only a codename for the project, so it’s unlikely to involve the Haribo sweet of the same name. (Or indeed the knock-off Disney cartoon Adventures Of The Gummi Bears.).
Despite the internal crises Bungie has been facing lately, The Game Post’s newest findings say Gummy Bears is still trucking along at an unnamed and newly formed studio. That said, around 40 Bungie developers are supposedly spearheading the project.
