Well you can pretty well bet that won't happen as long as Microsoft is steering the ship.

Microsoft hasn't owned Bungie since their contract expired after Halo Reach released. Bungie then immediately sold out to Activision to release Destiny 1&2. Then Activision wanted out. Then Sony overpaid to acquire Bungie. So currently, Sony owns Bungie, not Microsoft.

Also, ironically, Bungie was happy to leave Microsoft since they wanted to self publish games after that. But they haven't released a single self-published game since Myth II. They didn't even self-publish Oni.
