Chinese developer and publisher NetEase has invested $100 million in Bungie Studio. The companies have entered into a partnership in which they will work together on “new directions,” Bungie reported.

The Destiny 2 multiplayer shooter from Bungie simultaneously gathered over 1.2 million players in the first weekend after the release. This is more than the main Steam hit of this year – Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds, which recently surpassed the mark of 1 million players.

In the upcoming MMO shooter Destiny 2, microtransactions and “silver” (Silver) – a virtual currency from the first part of the game, purchased for real money, may appear.

Bungie plans to abandon the random selection of matches in the Destiny 2 MMO shooter and give players the opportunity to choose a company for themselves to pass game tests.

Bungie’s Destiny 2 MMO shooter will be released on the gaming service Battle.net and it will be the first game on the platform developed not by Blizzard Entertainment.

The founder of Bungie is going to revolutionize the action genre on mobile platforms. The “modular” gameplay and writer John Scalzi will help him in this.
