Jason Jones, co-creator of the popular video game franchises Halo and Destiny and co-founder of the game studio Bungie, has launched a new creative venture called Stone Kite. Based in Los Angeles, the studio is a partnership between Jones and Margaret Stohl, a long-time collaborator of Bungie, an author of 14 books, and a key figure in Marvel-related games and comics. Stohl has taken on the role of CEO at Stone Kite. The studio's first project is a comic mini-series titled One Zero One, which is based on a manuscript written by Jones. The first volume of the series is currently available in digital format on the Stone Kite website, with pre-orders open for a physical edition.
One Zero One is described as a four-part comic mini-series that explores an impending conflict between humans and a rebel army of robots controlled by artificial intelligence. Jones, who co-founded Bungie in 1991, left the company earlier this year after mass layoffs at Sony, which led to the elimination of his role as Chief Vision Officer. Jones has spent much of his career creating video games but has always had a passion for writing. He credits Stohl as the first person to believe in his vision and the only one he trusted to help transform his manuscript into a compelling story.
Stone Kite aims to push the boundaries of traditional media by assembling top creators from around the world across various disciplines to collaboratively shape new worlds and stories. The studio's approach reflects a desire to blend different forms of creative expression into a unified vision. Meanwhile, there has been some uncertainty about the future of Destiny 2, the popular game from Bungie. One report suggested that Bungie has officially ended support for the game, while another indicated that the game might still have more to offer in the future.
