The year 2023 will be a big one for Bungie as the Seattle-based gaming studio and Playstation subsidiary (with full independence) is scheduled to announce his new intellectual property, the first after Halo and Destiny and of course, needs high profile people to carry on.

And officially, a new big name has joined Bungie as Valorant co-creator and former Director Joe Ziegler, has finally acknowledged what it has been the rumor for weeks, that he made the jump from Riot Games to Bungie.

Last month and after 12 years at Riot Games and being the person who sparked the idea that we now know as Valorant, Joe Ziegler announced that he departed Riot Games with the spoiler alert that “he landed a new home” which began the talk where he was headed.

Bungie is scheduled to reveal its next new video game franchise with hopes to have it launch in 2025 and apparently, the game is codenamed Matter (the header for this article is a conceptual art of the game) and probably it will not be the final name despite being copyright registered by Bungie.

Matter could be a game with more focus on the RPG aspect and will leap the missed opportunities that Destiny could not capitalize in the eSpot world, with multiplayer as another important aspect of the game.

Originally, Bungie did made the notion that Lightfall would have been the last content and expansion for Destiny 2 so they could focus on Matter but went a whole new level and retracted by the official announcement of Lightfall which confirmed that a parallel development of Destiny 2 and Matter is possible and will be the route to go.
