Bungie is reportedly working on a new Destiny game for mobile, in collaboration with NetEase.

The news comes via The Game Post who claims to have seen “an unannounced FPS mobile game” developed in collaboration with Bungie listed on the LinkedIn profile of a NetEase Games artist.

What is Bungie Day?

In the developer’s own words, “Bungie Day was created by our amazing community long, long ago because of something to do with our weird fixation on the number seven.”

It’s a day of celebration for the studio that gave us so many great games, including Marathon, Myth, Oni, Halo, Destiny and so many more.

In addition, it’s a fantastic chance for the studio and community to support several charity initiatives through the Bungie Foundation.


That’s everything you need to know about Bungie Day in 2022, but stay tuned for more news and updates as we approach July 7.
