And now, Jan 10th, we have some more details

Exclusive: Details on Bungie’s MOBA-Smash Bros Hybrid Gummy Bears, Under New PlayStation Studio

Exclusive details about Bungie’s MOBA-Smash Bros hybrid, Gummy Bears, now under development at a new PlayStation studio.

thegamepost.com

• A PvP team-based competitive game.
• While fundamentally a MOBA, the game’s “Smash Bros.” influences mean it feels distinct from other entries in the genre; falling off maps, and replacing health-bar eliminations.
• Multiple game modes are planned.
• Gummy Bears is described as having lo-fi and cozy vibes, a sharp departure from Bungie’s usual dramatic, high-stakes sci-fi worlds.
• The project has been praised internally as Bungie’s “most fun” project out of incubation.
• The game is targeting a younger demographic with vibrant, colorful visuals.
• Expect a variety of roles, including Support, Attack, and Defense classes.
• Gummy Bears has been in development for at least three years.

Thoughts?

We already have this (not even joking, literally down to the mechanics described in the bulletpoints) and it's called SUPERVIVE. It's a lot of fun actually, even made a thread for it this week!

Why would Bungie want to reboot 2 games that are inferior in every way to their own work?

A PS5 exclusive game targeting a younger audience? I didn't know kids even played on console still. Think about the complete absence of cheap cash-in branded kids games this gen. There are zero unless you count Spiderman 2.

We are on the verge of going under, time for the inclusive and cozy Gummy Bear passion project . . .

Shout out to all the competitive dads

 

[Kataploom]

They really want their smash clone, don't they?

[Rocco Schiavone]

Inclusive worlds??

 

[Ronin_7]

This isn't Bungie anymore.

 

[ReBurn]

I'm going to be really disappointed if I don't get to play as a gummy bear.

 

[solidus12]

PlayStation needs to part ways with Bungie and close Haven.

 

[Ogbert]

Sounds like total arse.

Mad to think 20yrs ago this studio had just released Halo2 and were a couple of yrs away from the amazing Halo 3, now there making this shit, what a sad shame.

The studio went from lads in grey trackies to poofs in chinos

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

At this point, the guys at Bungie must be betting on how much they can troll the Dutch clown before Totoki-san grabs his katana. They need to get disbanded for yesterday.

Rolled up at the bottom, loafers without socks, sick shit. What ever happened to a nice pair of air max 95s.

The eye-searing neon purple gets a big "no thanks" from me. Also, I don't like MOBAs , so double whammy.

Your loss.

I mean I have no love for MOBA's myself but the battle royale approach with Supervive made the formula a lot more enjoyable (also because of WASD movement).

 

[Punished Miku]

MOBA is pretty much the only genre left I haven't played or clicked with. I don't have an opinion on this one really. Not for me.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

Wow sounds horrible.

 

[MiguelItUp]

If it ain't this blasting the theme every minute it can then I don't care.

 

[Neolombax]

If its free to play, I'll try it. If its not, its going to be an extremely hard sell.
