Bungie's newfound IP may have some sort of free-to-free rein constituent OR business model according to a fresh surfaced job itemization.

As The Pun Posts spotted, the studio apartment is hiring for a senior selling managing director on its presently unannounced unaccustomed Informatics. Under the "nice-to-have skills" section for this listing, Bungie mentions "experience with enterprise scale bouncy operations, games as a service of process, MMO, F2P, and mobile" as well as "knowledge of the PC and console gaming space" and widespread indecorum with Bungie's community.

As is always the case with listings equal this, we can but reap such from keywords and estimated job responsibilities, so let's not feign that Bungie's new IP is a self-governing-to-play mobile MMO based on this indorsement alone. It'd comprise one thing if Bungie's business opportunities were filled with mentions of these elements, but trace mentions don't exactly nail down what kind of game this freshly IP is going to be. The racy mention could atomic number 4 related to another mobile companion app corresponding the extraordinary for Destiny 2, for instance.

That said, few things some this itemisation stand out. First off, IT's the only one that's specifically tied to a "new IP" rather than a more general "brooding" send off, but that could easily be a terminology thing. More interestingly, it's too the only list that I could retrieve that mentions the F2P genre by name. A modified version of the same skills blurb appears in listings for a contract precedential communications manager for the APAC region and an editorial coach for internal communications, but with F2P missing from the list.

Relatedly, while comparison these job descriptions, I happened to spot mention of "live updates to a successful PvP game" under another listing for Bungie's incubation imag. This puts a finer point on details from a previous listing which specified a new "multiplayer legal action game."

We've renowned that Bungie's working on something new for over a yr, with job listings hinting at a "comedic" IP as early as Jan 2020. Earlier this year, design director Jacob Benton hinted at a "new secret macrocosm" which will run "parallel with Luck" by 2025. This fit with 2019 comments from studio CEO Pete Talcott Parsons, who aforementioned Bungie would establish new franchises by 2025.

The next chapter of Destiny 2 will be revealed at Bungie's August 24 showcase .
