Not all the surprises on this list have to come from game announcements or unexpected releases. Case in point, Bungie's decision to part ways with Activision caught many Destiny players off guard when the news dropped right near the start of 2019

The decision was made amicable between both publisher and developer, almost 9 years into a 10 year publishing agreement, but it wasn't necessarily the split that surprised people the most, more so the decision to allow Bungie to leave with full rights and ownership of the Destiny IP.

It was an unprecedented announcement, one that left a few scratching their heads as to why Activision would let such a cash cow go, and others happy to see Bungie in full control.
