Bungie’s “cozy” MOBA, codenamed Gummy Bears, features Smash Bros. mechanics aimed at younger players.

Bungie’s brand new IP, codenamed Gummy Bears, is a team-based competitive MOBA that has now been handed over to a brand new PlayStation studio.

The news is reported by The Game Post, which says that around 40 Bungie developers are working with the new studio to expand the “bright and colorful” game in the style of Super Smash Bros to “attract a younger audience” and diversify both the portfolio and the audience. It has been in development for about three years and is receiving “overwhelmingly positive reviews,” sources said.

And that’s not all. The report hints that “multiple” anonymous sources claim that Gummy Bears players “will not have traditional health bars” and will instead use a “percentage damage system, where characters are knocked back further depending on how much damage” they take or apply.

We’re told it will be a “lo-fi and cozy” competitive team-based PvP game with MOBA foundations and Smash Bros. elements.

There will be several modes and three types of classes, including support, attack and defense. Interestingly, players will also be able to “hang out with friends between matches and express their opinions.” their personalities in the game.”

We’ve reached out to PlayStation for comment on both the game itself and the mysterious new studio behind it. We will let you know if/when she gets back to us.

Presumably it won’t be adapted from the 80’s Disney cartoon of the same name pictured above… but we’ll see, I guess?!

As for Bungie itself? Almost exactly a year since it was revealed that Bungie had delayed the release of sci-fi shooter Marathon until 2025, the studio has released a developer update without gameplay that says the game is “on the right track” although it’s “a little early show her” — and that “much more will be revealed later this year.”

The update was Bungie’s first publicity stunt since the company laid off 220 employees — roughly 17 percent of its workforce — in July 2024.
