O Brave New World
As promised, Bungie released a nearly hour-long video documentary recapping the developer’s past 20 years. It’s an interesting look at an Indie game house turned major league developer. The doc itself is pretty interesting and the possible sneak peak of their new project at the end has sparked some serious interest.
Towards the end of the video you can see a few seconds of a desert-looking landscape with snow-capped mountains in the background. You’ll also notice a number of windmills that are attached to powerlines and some sort of destroyed object to the left, although it’s hard to tell what it is.
Shortly after that is a look at what may be the game’s logo, which just so happens to look like what was found along with a trademark of the name Destiny earlier this year. Destiny was the name used for the new game by a contractor who claimed to have been fired by Bungie. This led to him or her spilling the beans on what is reportedly Bungie’s next project: a massively-multiplayer first-person shooter. The Tiger code name was also used by the alleged contractor.
Executive producer Joseph Tung, said, “I believe that it absolutely will be a game-changer in the way that Halo was a game-changer.”
Bungie has been using the phrase “See you starside” as of late, and it makes an appearance towards the end of the video doc. Those are the last words seen in the video just prior to Bungie’s logo and the phrase “Per Audacia Ad Astra.” That, too, has been used by Bungie before; specifically, on the website of Bungie Aerospace prior to its launch. It’s believed to translate to something along the lines of “boldly going into space,” which is another hint that the new game will be space-oriented.
Whatever it is we won’t know for sure for quite awhile as Bungie has stated that they will be “going dark,” until they announce the next title at an unknown date.
