In a recent interview, Bungie creative lead Robbie Stevens and narrative designer Nikko Stevens discussed the future of Destiny and seemed agreeable to an idea that should make many gamers very excited.
When asked if Bungie would be open to considering a movie or television adaptation of the series, Stevens replied simply, “Anything is possible.” Though this is definitely not confirmation of any such projects in the near future, the response shows that the development studio is at least open to the idea. And because the split with Activision returned all ownership of the Destiny IP to Bungie, it is now free to make such decisions if the opportunity arises.
A Destiny movie or TV series would be welcome not only for long-time fans of the franchise but for gamers who might be interested in the games but are intimidated by the massive amount of existing Destiny lore. A screen adaptation could serve as a CliffsNotes for newcomers, a refresher for series vets, and a huge potential moneymaker for film studios or TV networks.
There have been movie or television adaptations of video games for decades, most often not with the greatest success either critically or financially. Over the years, announcements of movies based on video games became almost a joke or something to dread. More recently, however, the translation of beloved video game worlds to the big or small screen has resulted in unexpected success and general viewer satisfaction.
Destiny 2 is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One and Stadia.
