Bungie Studios gets stronger. The North American study, independent since last 2019, has announced through an official statement its plan to expand at all levels during this year 2021; from a change of offices to a larger location to a greater human capital in their workforce. All this focused on being able to dedicate efforts to a new intellectual property and Destiny 2, which will continue to be progressively expanded from now on.
“Bungie is preparing to continue growing in 2021 thanks to the expansion of its offices, a strategic investment in human talent and the incorporation of new members of the board of directors,” they comment in the note. Its headquarters based in Bellevue, in Washington (USA), grows to exceed 19,000 square meters with the objective of being able to complete its “technical modernization” and open an international office in 2022; specifically in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
The office expansion will allow Bungie to host more than one project simultaneously and without relinquishing its status as an independent studio. “This office represents the development of Bungie’s international business model and will house the Advertising and Marketing departments, which are in full expansion,” they say.
