Bungie Ko Kya Hua? Layoffs Ki Khabar, Destiny 3 Door Door Tak Nahi, Aur Sara Focus Marathon Par!
Doston, gaming ki duniya se ek aisi khabar aayi hai jisne sab ko hairan kar diya hai, khaas kar Destiny fans ko. Reports ke mutabiq, mashhoor game studio Bungie, jise hum Destiny aur Halo jaisi iconic franchises ke liye jaante hain, ek mushkil daur se guzar raha hai. Khabar hai ke company mein bade paimane par employees ko farigh kiya ja sakta hai, aur is se bhi barh kar, Destiny 3 ki development filhal door door tak nazar nahi aa rahi.
Yeh news aise waqt mein aayi hai jab Bungie ne pehle hi confirm kiya tha ke woh Destiny 2 ke liye support kam kar rahe hain, khaas kar June mein aane wale agle update ke baad. Kai gamers ko yeh pehle hi ek buri nishani lag rahi thi, kyunki Destiny 2 hi Bungie ka sab se mashhoor aur active game hai. Ab Bloomberg ki report ne is baat ko mazeed wazeh kar diya hai.
Pehle Bungie ki leadership ne Destiny 2 ko naye players ke liye mazeed accessible banane ke tareeqon par ghaur kiya tha, lekin phir unhone apna rukh badal liya. Ab unka poora focus Marathon par hai, jo ek extraction shooter game hai, aur isi wajah se kafi developers aur resources ko bhi Marathon ki taraf shift kar diya gaya hai.
Bungie Destiny universe mein naye ideas par kaam karte rehne ka plan toh rakhta hai, lekin economic challenges aur market ki mushkilat ki wajah se yeh pakka nahi ke in proposals ko greenlight milega ya nahi. Filhal Bungie ke paas Marathon ke ilawa koi aur game line-up mein nahi hai, aur Destiny 3 par kaam shuru karne ka koi irada nahi hai.
Marathon hi Bungie ka markazi focus rahega. Studio ko umeed hai ke woh is game ke players ki tadaad mein izafa kar sakenge, khaas kar iski shuruati launch ke baad jo ke itni achi nahi rahi thi. Bungie ne Marathon ke mustaqbil ke liye plans bhi bataye hain, jis mein naya PvE content shamil hai taa ke woh players bhi game se lutf utha saken jinhe PvP ya extraction gameplay pasand nahi. Iske ilawa, naye aane walon ke liye game ko samajhna asaan banane par bhi kaam ho raha hai.
Yaad rahe, Sony ne 2022 mein Bungie ko acquire kiya tha, taa ke PlayStation ke paas mazeed live service games hon. Lekin afsos ki baat hai ke yeh deal abhi tak Sony ke liye itni faida mand saabit nahi hui. Bungie ne PlayStation ke dusre projects par bhi mashwara diya tha, jis mein The Last of Us Online bhi shamil tha. Bungie ki feedback ke baad Naughty Dog ne us project ko cancel kar diya tha, kyunki Bungie ne bataya tha ke live service game banana aur support karna kitna mushkil hota hai.
Destiny 2 bhi Sony ki expectations par poora nahi utra, jis se unhe $204 million ka nuqsan hua. Isi tarah, Marathon ki sales bhi kaafi kam rahi, jiski wajah se Sony ko $765 million ka bhari nuqsan uthana pada.
Sony ne pehle bhi dikhaya hai ke woh studios ko band karne se nahi katrate, jaisa ke unhone is saal Bluepoint studio ko band kar diya tha. Bluepoint mashoor tha classic games ko remaster/remake karne ke liye, aur unse umeed thi ke woh PlayStation ke liye aise projects par kaam karte rahenge, lekin afsos ke woh PlayStation ke first-party studio ke taur par koi game release kiye bagair hi band ho gaye. Fans ko umeed hai ke Bungie ka haal aisa na ho, khaas kar uski legacy aur talent ko dekhte hue.
