Bungie Studios has been around since 1991. They came into the spotlight after the success of their games like the first-person shooter trilogy, Marathon, and the real-time tactic series, Myth.

This separation led to Bungie losing Halo and Activision acquiring the series. However, Bungie returned to the gaming world with their 2014 hit, Destiny, followed by the sequel, Destiny. Now under the umbrella of the Japanese giant, Bungie would again be able to come up with many big games. But they would continue working as an independent company, developing games for other platforms besides PlayStation.
