After a month of bad press and lawsuits, it seems Activision has finally scored a big coup. The developer has announced a ten-year deal with Halo masterminds Bungie, the latter’s first since splitting from Microsoft.

Under the deal, Activision will have exclusive worldwide rights to publish and distribute all future Bungie games based on the studio’s new IP. Bungie, on the other hand, will remain independent and will retain ownership of the IP.

It seems Bungie won’t be straying too far from its tried-and-true formula, as the announcement describes the IP as a “big action game”. Activision plans to release it on “multiple platforms and devices”.
