One thing is certain: the current Bungie staff has little in common with the Bungie West that produced Oni (there are five Oni developers<ref>The employees in Oni's credits that [http://halo.bungie.net/inside/teamindex.aspx still work] at Bungie are Butcher, Dunn, the McLees, and Wu. Only Butcher and Wu actually worked at Bungie West.</ref> still working at Bungie as of April 2014). There is probably little sentimental or monetary incentive for Bungie to buy the IP back and produce a sequel.  Furthermore, it was announced in May 2010 that Bungie was developing [[wikipedia:Destiny_(video_game)|a new IP]], to be published by Activision under a ten-year contract.

Since Oni's release, the fan community has been working on [[wikipedia:Mod_(video_gaming)|mods]] and writing gameplay and modding tools for the game. Gradually, the modding abilities of the community have extended to encompass nearly every aspect of the game. The game apps in Windows and macOS are also maintained and improved through patches. Various fan projects have taken on the subject of an "Oni 2" storyline.
