Bungie split apart from Microsoft in 2007 and became a limited liability company, but made an agreement with Microsoft to continue the Halo series until 2010, the finishing of Halo Reach. Of course we all know what happened after that, a call here and there and 343 Industries rose up and became in charge of the new Halo project. On April 29, 2010, Bungie was announced a 10 year contract partnership with Activision, which grew into a project. A new project that was recently confirmed (ignoring the leak from last year), they call it Destiny.
What is Destiny?
The new story Bungie will let unfold. A story about the Traveler, A giant sphere that suspends right above a specific point on the Earth. When it first arrived, it gave humanity a new age called the Golden Age. A time frame where humans explored the solar system, but it didn't last long, a threat is among the humans and wiped out everything the humans had established. Only a few Humans have survived and established a city that lies directly beneath the Traveler.
The story takes place as you are a defender to protect the city. Destiny will be an online FPS. A customization of your character almost an MMO style. Not much more information has been given on Destiny, except it will be released on the PS3, Xbox 360 and the newly announced PlayStation 4. PlayStation fans are finally going to experience what playing a Bungie game will be like from there perspective.
I personally don't have much to say on Bungie's decisions except that I am glad they were able to move past Halo. Hopefully Destiny will become something Halo could never be. Well for starters it's multi-platformed. This game has the potential to be the game of the year. Lets just hope it will be sold for PC as well, to prevent bloodshed of the PC gamer world. A lot of people are excited and I believe Bungie won't let us down.
I have both trailers posted here and feel free to check out the Bungie website for more information. www.bungie.net
