  "account": "Jason Jones, co-founder of Bungie and co-creator of Halo and Destiny, has unveiled a new studio called Stone Kite. The Los Angeles-based company will produce content for various entertainment mediums. Stone Kite's debut project is the limited-series comic book One Zero One, based on a manuscript written by Jones. Margaret Stohl, a veteran Bungie writer with a career spanning books, games, and comics, serves as Stone Kite's CEO. Stohl explained, \"Stone Kite is about breaking down those old media silos. Instead of starting in one medium and adapting outward, we bring the best global creators from different disciplines into the room from day one to shape the world together.\" Jones, who co-founded Bungie in 1991, expressed his desire to transition from game design to writing, inspired by his love for sci-fi paperbacks. One Zero One, a four-part limited comic series about humanity's conflict with a rogue AI-driven robot army, is now available digitally and can be preordered as a physical copy on the Stone Kite website. Jones' last public interview was in 2013, a decade prior to this announcement. Bungie, which had ceased support for Destiny 2 earlier this year, announced last week that the studio is still operational.",
