For the past 10 years Bungie has been releasing games on the Xbox, Halo has cemented their name and brand in the world of video games and as of last year Bungie is moving on to bigger better things. Until now details regarding their 10 year deal with Activision has been very quite, other than some light hinting last year at GDC where Bungies Joseph Statten said “Wouldn’t it be great if we could make a world that’s was always there for you?”. Kinda sounds like an MMO eh? Well it looks like our speculations might not be that far off.
According to recent reports online, Bungie is working on a title code named “Destiny” and is being described as “WOW in Space”. Now keep in mind, this game is still first person, and is still in space. Bungie has plenty of experience in the world of space themed combat. The idea of taking the foundation that has already been laid, and just expanding on that sounds fantastic.
Considering the closer relationship with Blizzard thanks to Activision, the idea of a console based FPSMMO is not that far off. I for one am very excited at the possibilities. Bungie has been claiming there path to world domination for years, and what better way then through and MMO. So, be excited and be ready for some real “Bungie” info with in the next 12 months. This project sounds pretty ambitious, but could push FPS’s in a whole new direction. Afterall look who changed console FPS’s ten years ago…
