Halo developer's next game confirmed for 2013
Bungie, the studio responsible for the massively successful Halo franchise, will return to consoles in 2013, it has been revealed.
Little is known about the game, other than it is currently code named Destiny, and has been described as "World of Warcraft in space". What we do know is that Bungie is contracted to deliver the game next year, and it will be the start of a new "action shooter" series of at least four games. The confirmation comes as Bungie's contract with new publisher Activision was released as part of a court case.
Clearly, the revelation caught Bungie by surprise. "So, yeah. While we�e not ready to show you what we�e been working on, we can reconfirm that we are hard at work on our new universe. We can� wait for you to see it," read a post from staff member DeeJ on their official website under the heading "Well, that just happened..."
"See you starside in 2013," they added, with a cheeky strikethrough on the word "starside".
While we may have to wait a while for Bungie's next, the series they launched is still going strong. Master Chief has been handed over to Microsoft's 343 Industries with Bungie's blessing, and Halo 4 arrives on Xbox 360 on November 6th this year. -
Bungie gears up for Destiny reveal
Halo creator Bungie is almost ready to pull back the curtain on Destiny, it's next epic game project. The reveal is expected over the weekend of February 16th - 17th, but the developer has got the ball rolling early with a blog post, a slew of social media channels and an intriguing viral puzzle.
"So, our game is called Destiny," reads the latest post on the Bungie.net website. "In a matter of days, we're going to give you your first glimpse into the vision and ambition that's driving the creation of our brave new world."
If you want to stay on top of the announcements, Bungie has set up an official Twitter account - @destinythegame - as well as dedicated pages on Facebook, Instagram and Google+. More fascinating is a spin-off website - alphalupi.bungie.net. Solving the puzzles on the site will apparently unlock images and clues related to the game. As Bungie was one of the first to seize the potential of viral marketing and augmented reality with the infamous "ilovebees" game that tied into Halo 2.
Destiny has been in development for several years now, and marks Bungie's first game outside the Halo universe in over ten years and its first multiplatform game since becoming independent from Microsoft. Activision will publish Destiny, but whether it will be for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 or next generation consoles remains to be seen.
