Game developer Bungie has given its first outline as to what the future holds for the studio.

In a blog post, Destiny franchise director Luke Smith thanked publisher Activision, as well as its High Moon and Vicarious Visions studios, for contributing to the Destiny IP.

The developer went on to say that it was committed to the sci-fi online brand.

"Long-term, Bungie is committed to Destiny," Smith wrote.

"We created the universe and we hold its future entirely in our hands. The vast majority of the team is hard at work envisioning future experiences, enemies, and ways to play the Guardian you've been building since 2014. We're going to keep doing that.

"We're thinking about what it means to be truly independent, what it means to self-publish, and crucially, what Destiny's future can now look like for our players.

"It was a busy Fall, and it is going to be a busy year.

"When I look ahead and think about Destiny and where it could go, I see a bright future, with roots in a memorable past. Not everything has been lost in the dark corners of time. "
