Destiny: Rising is being developed and published by NetEase, the Chinese tech giant behind the likes of Diablo Immortal and the upcoming Marvel Rivals. Main Destiny developer Bungie is consulting on development.
NetEase has yet to confirm an official release window for Destiny: Rising. In any event, the title is particularly notable title as it marks Destiny‘s mobile debut.
It also comes during a tumultuous time for the franchise. While this year’s Destiny 2 expansion, The Final Shape, was beloved among players and critics, Bungie was still hit with more than 200 layoffs in July. This came after 100 job cuts last year. Going forward, Bungie will continue to support Destiny 2 while working on its new sci-fi shooter IP, Marathon.
