About Bungie
Bungie was founded in 1991 with two goals: develop kick ass
games that combine state-of-the-art technology with uncompromising
art, captivating storytelling, and deep gameplay, and then to sell
enough copies to fund our ongoing quest for World Domination. Over
the past twenty years, Bungie created a bunch of fun games,
including the Halo franchise, the Marathon Trilogy, and the first
two Myth games. Our independent, employee-owned development studio
is located in Bellevue, Washington, the base where we launched our
most ambitious project to date: Destiny.
