Take2 have the rights to ONI now because Bungie was more or less a freelance developer and they sold the game to T2 for them to publish or something like that

If the IP now belongs to Take 2 Interactive, then no, I don't think Bungie can make any future Oni games. Unless Take 2 sells the IP back to them, or they decide to be nice and give it back to them - somehow, the IP has to become Bungie's again, I believe. I could be wrong, though.

Intellectual property is a sticky thing; wherever it goes, it's protected by laws and trademarks and copyrights and whatnot.

What are you, stupid? ~ Asuka Langley Soryu

i had a question about oni
i read
"Although the IP now belongs to Take2 Interactive, you can read more about this older Bungie game in this useful FAQ."
Q: So why is there so little info about Oni on this website?
A: Although Oni was designed and created by Bungie, it was actually sold as a trademarked proerty to Take 2 Games - who once owned a share in Bungie, before we were acquired by Microsoft.

IP now belongs to Take2 Interactive

dose that mean bungie cant make another one, or am i mistaken?
because if thats true, i would be sad =(
