Back in August 2023, I was thrilled to learn about an exciting new project within Bungie studios, code-named “Gummy Bears.” This intriguing title, as they shared in their recruitment tweet, draws inspiration from a diverse range of genres – from MOBAs and fighting games to life sims, platformers, and even those adorable ‘frog-type games.’
Fast forward to July 2024, and the studio underwent some changes. Regrettably, they had to let go of over 200 team members while also reassigning approximately 150 staffers to different divisions within Sony Interactive Entertainment. You might recall that Sony acquired Bungie in July 2022 for a whopping $3.6 billion.
These changes, however, seemed to foster new opportunities. The Gummy Bears development team was spun off and given the chance to establish their own studio, called teamLFG. Excitingly, Sony officially announced the launch of this new venture in May 2025. I can’t wait to see what they create next!
