It seems like Bungie is all set to bring Destiny to the silver screen. Bungie’s Destiny series can be considered its crown jewel owing to its success over the years. A jump to the television and media industry will definitely be a huge step for Bungie.

Bungie has even listed an opening for a new senior executive development role at the studio on their website. The role portfolio is supposed to “drive projects that extend the Destiny franchise into new categories including TV, films, books, comics, and audio formats.”

Destiny as TV and Movie series

With Destiny already being an internationally recognized franchise with a committed fan base, some fans may be concerned that a shift to other media under the wrong supervision might be damaging to the game’s narrative and characters.

With this in mind, it appears like Bungie is searching for someone who is already well-versed in the Destiny Universe. Bungie requires applicants to have a passion for the Destiny Universe in addition to extensive multimedia experience, stating that an ideal candidate will have spent hundreds of hours playing Destiny and exploring its world.

As one of Season of the Lost’s most significant characters, Awoken Queen Mara Sov is prominently featured in the teaser.

Mara has returned to the Dreaming City after departing almost two and a half years ago to face the Darkness in preparation for the upcoming war with Savathun.

To do this, she is appealing to Guardians to assist her in rescuing the other Techuens who appear to be stuck within the Shattered Realm till they fall victim to Savathun’s sister, Xivu Arath.
