Could this art from Bungies website be for Gummy Bears? (Bungie)A supposedly cancelled Bungie project is said to be alive and well, but Sony has taken direct control of it.Destiny 2 developer Bungie underwent some significant changes following the launch of The Final Shape expansion last year, with around 17% of the studio being laid off.Bungie also announced 12% of the workforce would be integrated into Sony Interactive Entertainment, with plans to form a new team within PlayStation Studios to continue work on one of Bungies incubation projects.A new report claims this incubation project is the multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) Gummy Bears, which may come as a surprise since a separate report from March claimed it had been cancelled.What is Bungies Gummy Bears?Details on Gummy Bears first cropped up in 2023, courtesy of The Game Post, which said the project was still in the early stages and featured colourful and cute characters, making it a far cry from anything Bungie has previously made.For the record, Gummy Bears is only a codename for the project, so its unlikely to involve the Haribo sweet of the same name. (Or indeed the knock-off Disney cartoon Adventures Of The Gummi Bears.)Despite the internal crises Bungie has been facing lately, The Game Posts newest findings say Gummy Bears is still trucking along at an unnamed and newly formed studio. That said, around 40 Bungie developers are supposedly spearheading the project.Apparently, Gummy Bears more vibrant and colourful aesthetic (the words lo-fi and cozy has also been thrown around) is part of a ploy to appeal to younger players. Super Smash Bungie (Nintendo)Plus, while its a MOBA (think League Of Legends or Pokmon Unite), Gummy Bears wont have traditional health bars and instead use a percentage-based damage similar to the one seen in the Super Smash Bros. games.The more damage you take, the further youre knocked back when hit. You can even get knocked off the map. While plenty of Smash Bros. clones have borrowed the same system, Gummy Bears status as a MOBA is unusual.Gummy Bears has reportedly been in development for at least three years, but theres no telling when it could release. Sony could be prepping it as one of its upcoming live service games, but its hard to be optimistic about its future after Concords disastrous launch led to the game being pulled after two weeks and its developer being shut down.Bungie itself sounds optimistic about Gummy Bears, though. Back in 2023, while announcing it was hiring for new roles, the company teased a team-based action game inspired by fighting games, platformers, MOBAs, life sims, and frog-type games, wrapped up in a lighthearted, comedic world.More Trending(We have no idea what a frog type game is supposed to be. Even if its related to Frogger, that doesnt seem to make sense in the context of a Smash Bros. inspired MOBA.)The description sounds very much like this Gummy Bears title, with Bungie even calling it one of our favourite incubation projects. The Game Posts report adds that its been receiving a lot of praise internally.Officially Bungies next game is supposed to be their multiplayer reboot of Marathon, but if Gummy Bears is being made by a different studio the two shouldnt interfere with each other.As for Destiny 2, while theres no word of it being replaced by a sequel, rumours suggest that future updates are being scaled down and players will only see two seasons a year going forward.
