Today, Sony announced a financially smaller yet just as monumental purchase with its acquisition of Bungie, the famed studio behind the Xbox-exclusive <em>Halo<\/em> video games.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSo much has changed at these companies recently.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSteven Spielberg made <em>Halo: The Series<\/em> a thing, and Bungie has been focused on making <em>Destiny<\/em>, its new IP, a powerhouse in the gaming community. So far, they\u2019re doing quite well.\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nofilmschool.com\/Sony-Acquires-Bungie\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Author: Yaroslav Altunin<br \/>\nThis article comes from <i>No Film School<\/i> and can be <a href=\"https:\/\/nofilmschool.com\/Sony-Acquires-Bungie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>read on the original site.<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Microsoft\u2019s huge purchase of Activision Blizzard, Sony also embraces retail therapy and announces it&#8217;s acquiring Bungie, the brainchild of the Halo franchise.
