Destiny is one of the most successful games across all consoles and PC as it has a free-to-play model with optional downloadable content and cosmetics that cost small amounts of money. This has led to the game garnering a massive player base over the course of the franchise's 9-year history. NetEase is the mobile game developer responsible for creating some of the largest [mobile ports of high-profile games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stellar-blade-pc), such as 'EVE Echoes' and 'Diablo Immortal.' As such, Bungie believed NetEase would be a fitting company to develop the Destiny mobile game while respecting the original series.
