Future creators Bungie are reportedly making a team-based MOBA that takes hefty inspiration from Nintendo’s Smash Bros sequence. Or relatively, they had been. Codenamed Gummy Bears, the challenge is now apparently within the arms of one other, newly based PlayStation studio, with 40 Bungie builders sticking round to work on it.
In keeping with The Sport Publish, who cite nameless sources, the brand new Sony studio in query is the one based final 12 months when Bungie (who’re owned by Sony) introduced main restructuring. Consisting of 155 folks, the brand new studio had been stated again then to be engaged on an untitled “motion sport set in a brand-new science-fantasy universe”.
The Gummy Bear challenge is described as “vibrant”, “vibrant”, “lo-fi”, and “cosy”. Maybe for sure, it is designed for a youthful viewers. The Sport Publish’s sources declare it has been in growth for 3 years, and makes use of a percentage-based harm system, the place blows knock again characters additional and additional, relatively than conventional well being bars. Which may be very Smash Bros.
It is also stated to have three class sorts – help, assault and defence – and a bunch of modes, with the flexibility to hang around with folks between matches. Which I assume implies that there is a hub setting of some type. Much less enthusiastic about that stuff. I hate hanging out. Go away me alone.
Bungie’s recognized tasks embrace the Future sequence and a reboot of Marathon – aged cousin of DOOM turned PvP extraction shooter. Bitter outdated farts like myself and Brendy don’t assume a lot of nu-Marathon, whose workings stay a thriller virtually two years on from announcement. However galloping guides editor Ollie is relatively extra optimistic. In our round-up of 2025’s most anticipated video games, he feedback that “I am keen on extraction shooters, and regardless of the continued dominance of Tarkov and Hunt, Bungie has the potential to create the style’s new frontrunner”.
Me, I might relatively play a Bungie Smash Bros homage. I imply, Bungie are the individuals who invented the Gravity Hammer.
